The information diet is a conscious reduction in the perception of unnecessary information. Applying this method will change your life for the better and allow your brain to work more productively.
Active Internet users very often overload their brains with information. It is one thing if this information is really important and useful, if it serves a purpose and contributes to internal development. Often, the information that people receive is to a greater extent absolutely unnecessary, useless, not carrying a certain semantic load. Reading the news, clippings from the tabloids, spamming emails, useless blogs - all this takes up a lot of time and gives almost nothing in return. Most of the information obtained from these sources is worthless, it clogs the brain and does not help a person in any way, but rather the opposite. Nowadays, it is very easy to overload the brain with information, it is much more difficult to protect yourself from everything unnecessary.
Timothy Ferris, the author of How to Work Four Hours a Week and Still Not Hang Out in the Office, Live Anywhere and Get Rich, advises people to "go on an information diet." What it is?
An informational diet is about getting only the information that is really needed and important. Endless reading of the news is unlikely to change life for the better, and this time can be spent much more productively, choosing only useful information. Think about it, is it really so important for you to spend so much time watching TV, reading newspapers and hanging out on social networks? How will your life change if instead of these useless activities you do something important and worthwhile?
Of course, it will be quite difficult to go on such a diet, this is a way out of your comfort zone. And the news surrounds a person everywhere. The challenge is to try to get as little unnecessary information as possible. After just a week of the informational diet, you will feel that your life is beginning to change for the better.
Instead of reading the newspaper, go in for sports, take a walk with your child instead of watching a TV series, or help your parents. Get only the information you really need. An overabundance of information leads to insomnia, headaches, reduces performance and increases fatigue. Do you need it? If not, then feel free to throw out all information waste from your life.
