Selective Ignorance

Written By Ben Brunt

As I like to do on Friday, I’ve stolen today’s blog from James Clear’s newsletter.

Be selectively ignorant.

Ignore topics that drain you.

Unfollow people that drain your energy.

Abandon projects that drains your time.

Do not keep up with it all. The more selectively ignorant you become, the more broadly knowledgeable you can be.


It’s been over a month since deleting my personal Instagram account, and I can tell you, selectively deciding to ignore everything I was seeing on there has turned out to be a great decision. I waste less time, get less emotionally involved in things that don’t actually matter to me, and have more time for what matters.
