Summary

We are drowning in information, with every hour bringing a new stream of news alerts, social media updates, and blog posts vying for our attention. This deluge can be overwhelming, leading to decision paralysis, decreased productivity, and unhappiness. Our mental operating system can only process so much information before it becomes distorted, causing us to make poor decisions and feel drained. To manage this flood of information, we need to identify the sources of input in our lives and treat them with care. This includes news, advertising, blogs, videos, notifications, books, and social interactions. By analyzing these sources, filtering out irrelevant or biased information, and taking action only when necessary, we can optimize our inputs and make better decisions. By treating our minds like a Ferrari, we can put in the best fuel possible to achieve optimal performance.
