Drowning in Noise
Greetings, Carl here.
Ever feel like you're drowning in information?
That feeling... it's real.
Some scholars say that we encounter more information in a single day than people in the 15th century did in their entire lives.
Do you think our ability to process all this information has changed much since then?
I'm a big fan of information fasts—like those diets where you cut certain foods out for a bit and see how your body reacts.
Imagine 30 days with no X, Instagram, or news—just long-form books. I'm thinking classics like "When Things Fall Apart" and "Essentialism."
After turning off all that noise for 30 days, I bet diving back into X would feel like a whirlwind.
If you've done something like this, email me at hello@behaviorgap.com and let me know how it went.
