Listen, we all have a lot of information coming at us and limited time to process it. Most days it feels like the world is set up to keep you confused, reactive, and chasing your tail. Between research, social media, “thought leaders,” news, and whatever’s happening at work and home, it’s easy to either shut down or grab at the loudest voice in the room.
 
This episode is about pushing back on that. I walk through a clear framework you can use to make better sense of the information you already have, so you can stay centered, make sharper decisions, and avoid getting bogged down by bullshit. It’s less about hoarding more content and more about training how you think, what you pay attention to, and how you use what you learn.
 
In this episode, we get into:
•How to decide what “job” a piece of information is supposed to do for you before you give it your attention
•A simple relevance filter to separate what matters right now from what can wait—or be ignored
•How to look at the source and the incentives behind the message so you’re less likely to get played
•A quick way to separate facts, interpretations, and emotions so you don’t get swept up in spin
•Turning something you read or hear into a clean, practical takeaway you can actually use
•Getting comfortable with “I don’t know yet” instead of grabbing the first confident-sounding answer
•Testing new ideas through small actions instead of endless debate or overthinking
