Overfeed a fish tank and the water turns cloudy. Overfeed your brain with content and so does your thinking.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Too much input, even good input, wrecks the output. A tank with more food than the fish can eat goes cloudy because the surplus has nowhere to go, and a day crammed with videos and opinions does something similar to your thinking: nothing gets digested, so everything stays suspended. The feeling it produces is being informed. The effect is fog.

Cut one source this week instead of adding a better one. After anything you watch, take two minutes to say what you actually think about it. Fewer inputs and more digesting is how the water clears.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

When did your thinking last feel cloudy from too much input?
