Years ago I used to send out my newsletter only once a month. Yes, only once a month. It had about four sections, including a book review and a nutrition section. At that time, I really felt that once a month was enough information to handle for my clients.
I laugh to myself as to how things have changed when it comes to the availability and the avalanche of information. I just read a "social media expert" who suggested that businesses post 6-7 times per day alone, on Instagram.
But I wonder...
Does more information produce better results or more happiness?
I don't think so.
When you are thirsty, you need a cup of clean cool water...you don't need a firehose blast of questionable city water.
I don't believe that the incessant stream of breaking news, tips, photos, fads, and other interruptions really produce lasting results. It's like drinking a soda. Sweet and enjoyable in the moment, but fat producing and depressing in the long run.
Here are a few things I've been pondering over lately...
