The Motivated Mind

The Noise Bottleneck Concept


Listen Later

The average American consumes 100,000 words or 34 gigabytes of information every day – that's the equivalent of watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy ten times, back to back, every day. That's a lot of information bombarding us. As a result, our attention, focus, and problem-solving abilities slow down under the labor of having too much to do. This is exactly what the “noise bottleneck” theory argues – the more we try to process, the less we actually can. In this episode, I discuss leveraging The Noise Bottleneck concept to sort what matters from what doesn’t.
