Just in Time Information

I am staring at two chrome windows open with more than 50 tabs each and it’s taking the toll on my computer.

This is part of my daily routine of keeping up with the internet marketing world.

Not long ago I undertook the glorious task of cleaning Pocket. I have been using the app for about 4 years and I had more than 4.000 articles saved on it. That means I saved an average of 3 articles per day.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Although I read more than 100 articles a day — both for pleasure and work — there are a handful that are truly remarkable content.

Those are the articles I want to keep finding and saving for later, not just any article.

And then it dawned on me:

I have been consuming information the wrong way.

How did I realize this?

On the first batch of bookmark cleaning, I deleted all book, app and podcast recommendations. I didn’t even open the article.

The only exceptions?

Recommendations from people I personally admire and want to know what they are listening, watching, and reading. In other words: people like Noah Kagan, Bill Gates, Nat Eliason, etc. made the cut.
