We are cluttered with information from a day to day basis. It’s time to let everyone take a breath
Less is more
Noise
Every day begins with information.

We have become remarkably efficient at consuming information. We scroll, skim, switch, respond, and move on — often without giving ourselves enough time to ask what, if anything, is worth holding onto
