It&rsquo;s naive to think that this information will make us more informed because they are generated for another purpose.</strong></p> <p>For example, most of what we pay attention to on social media benefits others, either by buying something from them or contributing to their agenda or narrative.</p> <p>So, to have peace of mind, minimizing your exposure to unnecessary information isn&rsquo;t a bonus but a necessity.</p> <p>Without wasting any time, let&rsquo;s find out why:</p> <h2><strong>Understanding information overload:</strong></h2> <p>To describe what information overload feels like, imagine you want to buy a car and have collected lots of information about different cars, but you can&rsquo;t decide which one to buy.</p> <p>In this situation, you&rsquo;ve inundated yourself with more information than you can process.
