Information Overload

Show notes

YNAB is all about creating clarity with your money, and that central question -- what does it need to do? -- and therefore, clarity in your life. Clarity is very difficut, if not impossible, to achieve when you are overloaded and overwhelmed with inputs. Today Jesse challenges you to unhook yourself from the matrix, turn off the feeds, leave social media, and drastically reduce your diet of information. Not just for a week, try it for a year. Maybe two years.

When you have fewer inputs into your thought process, you have more time to consider what is important to YOU, without having to parse what the algorithm is trying to push as important. You need space to think and reflect, and to get space you need to clear space. Give a try and see what happens! You may just find the answer you've been looking for (hint: what does your money need to do?)
