#478 Prioritization, Choosing Wisely, Simplifying Our Lives

     All manner of opinions, on any subject at all, are instantly available on the web. Their credibility ranges from pure craziness to solidly-researched. But what does the average reader make of all this data? How can, or does s/he at all, prioritize quality over nonsense? Perhaps to avoid this quandary, some talk about "a level playing field" ie that today, all data is of equal value. This attitude may remove one's responsibility to prioritize based on quality, but of course it's absolute nonsense.

     One major problem we have is the constant deluge of choices, making us exhausted - we simply don't have the energy to research & intelligently prioritize all the innumerable options we face many times per day. Instead of allowing ourselves to drown in minutiae, we must learn to simplify our lives and prioritize.
