This is an important step because most of us waste too much time in taking in too much information which is not useful to us. @Hi Alex, It seem like you are doing a great job in selecting the content that you take in. I love time blocking and I believe it will help us to choose the information we take in more wisely. @Hi Stephen, Personally I prefer to follow people through the RSS reader because I can scan through huge amount of content in a single go to keep me updated with the latest news going on in the blogosphere. Sometimes I get ideas for my next articles in the blogs that I follow too. Maybe you would like to start to follow some blogs and check whether this approach works for you. Anyway it is just a preference of mine :) Cheers Vincent Personal Development Blogger @Hi Marelisa,

Nice to see a fellow personal growth blogger guest article at PicktheBrain :-) -> keep up the good work! And to answer your question, 'yes' I do keep a low information diet as I'm only subscribed to 10 Newsletters and don't follow anyone using an RSS reader. Maybe my info-diet is stretched too thin, what do you think? Hey Vincent – good on ya man!

And to answer your question, ‘yes’ I do keep a low information diet as I’m only subscribed to 10 Newsletters and don’t follow anyone using an RSS reader.

Maybe my info-diet is stretched too thin, what do you think?

For example, I give myself an hour to clear my blog reader each day, with a goal of ten comments left on other blogs. It means that I need to be hyper-selective about what posts I read. And although I might read email throughout the day, I generally only answer it in the morning during another block of time. I timeblock my day and limit myself in other ways.

What would you do if you just had a heart attack and could only work for two hours a day? What about two hours a week? After coming across this question in the book, I knew the answer was simple. It’s about eliminating everything you don’t need and filling your life with what you do. Since then, I’ve stopped watching TV (except for my favourite shows), stopped listening to annoying DJs on the radio, stopped watching the news bulletins several times a day, cut back my online subscriptions from nine to two, and cut back my print subscriptions from five to one. It may be hard to let go of all the data, but do you honestly need to check your email and other messages several times a day? Besides, if anything that important happens, you’ll know.
