I’ve been running a small experiment with how I consume news.
Instead of reading daily emails, I’ve been using a simple prompt on ChatGPT to get concise updates on demand. No notifications, no constant drip.
So far, I’ve noticed two things:
Peace of mind. I don’t miss the sensationalist headlines.
Better timing. I now check the news every couple of days in the evening, not first thing in the morning. That shift alone makes the day feel lighter.
I don’t think I have missed much – the big stories still find their way through. But I’ve gained a calmer relationship with the flow of information.
It’s still an experiment, but it’s one I intend to keep running.
