Just before turning in for the night, I decided to check out the CBC News website (https://www.cbc.ca/news if you’re curious) to answer the question:
What have I missed since I stopped regularly checking the news?
The answer:
Pretty much nothing that would make any kind of difference in my daily (or weekly, monthly or yearly) life.
I’d say that a lot of the stories fall into a giant bucket of, “So what?” It’s just stuff to fill the page. And while not all of it is negative, much of it is. And I just don’t need this in my life anymore. I’ve Marie Kondo’d my way out of my daily news fix and the joy be sparkin’. Well, maybe not joy, but there’s certainly no feeling that I’m missing out on something by skipping out on the news of the day.
I’m rather enjoying this purging and simplification process. What will I toss aside next? Come back at some undetermined date in the future to find out.
Bonus random thought: Medium has a lot of articles on note-taking apps.
