Do you remember the gentleman who came to one of our live podcast events? He's asking a question and his question was, I have about a thousand articles bookmarked on my chrome or safari. And he was like, it really stresses me out because they are all things that I'm genuinely interested in. But I haven't read any of them. So this sheer amount of what's bookmarked there, it's overwhelming. We start worrying like, oh, I'm not reading enough. Ironically, when I got rid of those 2000 books, I began reading more because the clutter wasn't in the way preventing me from reading.
