Happiness Takes (A Little) Magic | The Wirecutter
I posted this to Twitter yesterday but it’s been on my mind a fair bit over the past 24 hours so I wanted to post it again here. The post talks about the firehose of information that many of us are tapped into and consume on a daily basis and how much of it is actually valuable. Or perhaps more importantly, how much of it actually makes us more enlightened, even happier. Take a look back at the tech articles you read a year ago, six months ago, even a week ago - how relevant are they now, were they worth the time you invested in reading them? The post doesn’t suggest shutting off the firehose altogether, but looking for ways to filter it down to the really valuable stuff and in doing so, giving us our time back to do the things that really make us happy.
