An information detox is needed every now and then. I came across a thought from someone that stated we learn best by listening to stories because it’s how we have always learned. I think this makes sense because you see someone else’s story and you picture yourself as the character. It doesn’t have to be a story about someone real just a character and you are set to learn a thing or two.
Information is when we take in processes and steps for doing something without the story — without us being told of someone doing it and how it was done. This is the majority of self-help books. There are self-help books for entrepreneurs, artists, programmers, and pretty much every profession out there.
We lose sight of the “self” we are helping though. I’ve been guilty of this.
An information fast is needed to detox the mind of this influence.
How long to fast? I don’t know. 30 days? 1 week? 1 year?
Find the self.
