Maintaining Optimism in the Face of Bad News
Managing information consumption is crucial for maintaining optimism and motivation, particularly in challenging times. Research indicates that even a minute of negative news can affect one's mood and productivity for hours. Entrepreneurs should prioritize their most valuable resources—time, attention, and energy—by eliminating negative news consumption from their mornings. Instead, focus on positive and uplifting inputs, whether from news or social media. Carefully curate social media feeds to include only those accounts that encourage growth and positivity. By controlling the information intake, business owners can significantly influence their mental state and, subsequently, their business output.
