Digital Addiction: How Information Overload Destroys Your Mind

It's 2021, who doesn't have some sort of digital addiction? Here's the problem with that...

With the massive surplus of digital stuff to pay attention to in today’s content-rich world, our attention is actually being assaulted. The more crap there is to pay attention to, the more difficult it is to choose what to focus on—not to mention stay focused on it!

Distractions aren’t just unproductive, they’re anti-productive. They create more work than they replace. So, the first and most important goal of an attention diet should be to consciously limit the number of distractions we’re exposed to. Just as the first step of a nutritional diet is to consume less food, the first step of a digital detox is to consume less information. To cleanse yourself of the addiction.

This video is your guide on how to start a healthy Attention Diet. It helps you understand what stuff is worth paying attention to and what you should give a fuck about. We will cover:

+ Correctly identifying nutritious information and relationships
+ Cutting out the junk information and relationships
+ Cultivating habits of deeper focus and a longer attention span

Your time starts, now.
