I’m back.
I ended my self-imposed and Tim Ferriss inspired “information fast” this morning. It has been a really worthwhile experience. Stripped of the constant stimulation of info junk food, I felt like I was a lot more productive during the week. I did cheat towards the end and watch a couple of TV programs. But I mostly stayed away from unnecessary web surfing which I’m chuffed about. I also unsubscribed from a whole bunch of email newsletters - in future I’m going to be a lot stricter with what I subscribe to on email and RSS. Like Steve Pavlina says, “Nothing is free if it costs you time.”
If you’re feeling the info-overwhelm, I can definitely recommend going on an info diet.
