I think the answer to that might be different for everyone. In an effort to stay informed, you may be putting yourself under undue stress. So I think the key to knowing how much information to consume is weighing the costs of that information. And that involves first understanding why you're paying attention.

Is your goal of listening to have more informed conversations, to make better financial decisions, to get amped up and mad when things are chaotic? I don't think anyone really wants that last one.

So I think it's useful to ask yourself, how much do I really need to know? And how soon do I need to know it? These things are happening around us so fast that staying up to date in real time is a full-time job. Trust me, it's my job. It's your guys' job too. So maybe you throttle your consumption by setting boundaries about what you consume and when and where you get it from, for instance.

Well, for me, it's all about controlling that flow of information and primarily controlling the sources of information. Personally, my warning bells go off when I'm seeking economic news or information and I'm met with high emotion delivery.

Generally speaking, if I come across a talking head on social media and they're discussing the latest in financial or economic news, It goes in one ear and out the other.

So I try to get my info from multiple sources. I personally prefer reading to video. And I always scan for the facts rather than the analysis. For the analysis aspect, I do follow some experts in economics, policy, supply chains, and the like. primarily on LinkedIn and Substack.
