Deep Questions with Cal Newport
**How to shift to Conception Consumption of Information **
You don't need to spend hours reading internet articles. Instead, try a 30-day exercise of not reading any internet articles and focus on other forms of media consumption. Listen to summary podcasts and interesting podcasts during your free time. Spend your energy on reading books and deeper ideas. After 30 days, you'll find that you're still informed and less stressed. The common mindset of being fast consumers of various streams of information is not necessary for a fulfilling intellectual life. Social media platforms and the online attention economy have changed our conception of information consumption. They prioritize high velocity of content to keep us engaged and gather more data. However, this is not how information consumption used to be. Returning to a slower, more consolidated approach to consuming information will lead to a happier and more comfortable experience.
