I don't follow any news and any social media (I have only one of them, FB but only for a very specific technical groups/forums and I only browse it on a my computer with kill newsfeed add-on). Anyway social and news aren't my problem, my problem is "technical social" one :).

When I reread this chapter about information diet in 4HWW I recognize the same pattern as Tim's described.

I have a habit to read and bookmarks a lot of technical information which aren't relevant to any tasks I'm doing in this moment. It's a strong habit and I start to remove it. It's trigger when I lost focus or I stuck with work and I don't know what next.

But when I'll only focus on "useful" information, I can easily lost my pulse of current trends. From the other side, "knowledge" without practice is useless in my opinion.

So, I'm looking for a healthy balance :).

And you are right, a good newsletter, like Fronted Focus[1], is the best option.
