There’s more to watch, read and listen to than anyone can finish. The trick is deciding what you won’t do, and giving the rest enough time.
Try a budget. Two hours a week, spent on purpose. That’s about one long film or a handful of shorter pieces, plus a few articles.
A rough split
Spend half an hour looking at pictures with no goal. Browse a gallery, a photographer’s archive, a museum’s collection. Looking without a task trains your eye, and it’s more relaxing than you’d expect.
Give another half hour to one longer read, something with real reporting. Then pick one video worth twenty or thirty minutes. Use what’s left on a single piece that has nothing to do with your job or your interests.
Cut the noise
Drop the feeds that leave you feeling worse. Turn off autoplay. Keep a running list of things you want to get to, so you aren’t tempted to open everything the moment you see it.
A digest helps here because someone else has already done the first filtering. You still make the final call. That’s the point.
If two hours sounds like too little, try it for a month and see what you miss.
