An informational diet is a conscious reduction in the perception of unnecessary information. Using this method will change life for the better and allow the brain to work more productively.
Active Internet users often overload their brain with information. It is one thing if this information is really important and useful, if it serves the purposes and promotes internal development. Often, the information that people receive is more completely unnecessary, useless, not bearing a certain semantic load. Reading news, clippings from the yellow press, electronic spam mailings, useless blogs - all this takes a lot of time, and in return gives almost nothing. Most of the information obtained from these sources is worthless, it clogs the brain and does not help a person, but rather, even vice versa. Nowadays, overloading the brain with information is very simple, it is much more difficult to protect yourself from everything unnecessary.
The author of the book "How to work four hours a week and at the same time not to hang around in the office" call to call ", live anywhere and get rich" Timothy Ferris advises people to "go on an informational diet." What it is?
An informational diet is getting only the information that is really needed and important. Endless reading of news is unlikely to change life for the better, and this time can be spent much more productively, choosing only useful information. Think, is it really so important for you to spend so much time watching TV, reading newspapers and freezing on social networks? How will your life change if, instead of these useless activities, you do something important and worthwhile?
Of course, to go on such a diet will be quite difficult, this is the way out of the comfort zone. Yes, and news surrounds a person everywhere. The task is to try to get as little unnecessary information as possible. After a week of an informational diet, you will feel that your life is beginning to change for the better.
Instead of reading the newspaper, go in for sports; instead of watching the series, take a walk with your child or help parents. Get only the information that you really need. An excess of information leads to insomnia, headaches, reduces performance and increases fatigue. Do you need it? If not, then boldly throw out all informational garbage from life.
