One area I've found helpful is focusing on sources of clarity. With the volume of information/data of all levels of quality becoming so abundant to the point of being overwhelming, and that volume used to influence, the more I can identify the answer to these two points with what is being shoved my way, the better I feel about what I do ultimately select:

- What supposed truth is this information trying to uphold or undermine?

- Is this information trying to make me more or less active on the previous point?

Increasingly I'm getting out of the habit of accepting "I've heard something like this a LOT lately" as a positive sign of influence or motivation toward a next step. Any idiot can buy out the podcast ad inventory to sell their buddy's brain genius pills, it doesn't make consumption wise.

(The poster linked to their own blog post, so maybe they'll add their own opinion to either, rather than summarizing two quotes from David Allen.)
