"I don't need this in my life. It wasn't actually making me more informed," he says of reading the news. "More often than not, getting more of that noise in your life makes you even more confused or more outraged." He advises people to evaluate their time horizon and focus on what is still going to matter a month from now,. A year from now, certainly that will not matter to you.

The information age gives us access to so much advice that it can be hard to see through the noise.

4AM morning routines that don't make sense for you. Productivity hacks that hardly move the needle. Hindsight bias cloaked as success stories.

Most advice is well-intentioned, but rarely translates to improvements in another person's life. So this week, Cal and Steph took a step back to ask the simple question: what are the 80/20 habits, beliefs, and products that had an outsized impact in changing their lives.

While many of their answers aren't revolutionary, they're universal and can be adopted by anyone.

If you find yourself looking for an 80/20 episode that cuts through the noise, this one is for you.
