I just build some AI tools that summarize everything for me 😅 For example, I tried to stay up to date with 3 tech newsletters but couldn't read them all (and most times they'd mention the same things). So I just built a tool that will read them for me and summarize it all in bullet points (with links in case I want to go deeper).

Take regular breaks to clear your mind and avoid being overwhelmed by too much information at once.

Yes it gets overwhelming for me when situations like this happen! What I normally do is group the information and then tackle it one group at a time

I limit my news and social media time to specific parts of the day. Also, using a to-do list keeps me on track with my priorities.

all notifications — off imagine you have to choose only 3 best resources to follow — do it (if you'll miss the ones you left behind, then they're worth it) try to start noticing how refreshed your brain becomes after a walk in the park (etc) without your phone — this will help you gradually shift to a mode of less information consumption

Only by stop consuming. Feeling overloaded means it's time to let your subconscious to deal with already absorbed information.
