No news is good news
I have been a very strong adherent of this philosophy for over 30 years.There’s an adage, “there’s nothing as worthless as yesterday’s news”.  Which led me to wonder, “was it even worth knowing yesterday?”I realized the solution was a low pass filter.I first switched to a seven-page newspaper (CSM) delivered through the mail.  I realised the editors had to figure out whether it would still be interesting by the time it arrived and important enough to take up space in the paper.I soon switched to a weekly newspaper (The Economist) and monthlies.  I haven’t looked back.  The nice thing about a paper like the economist is remained relatively small (few pages) so had to make the same class of decision as the CSM, rather than expand the paper.I also have an RSS list of trade journals and such that I skim once a week, reading the odd title that looks interesting.   Most of the time it’s only a handful of articles.As for the high frequency stuff and stuff outside my bubble: I still talk to people and so I hear about stray stories.  I do find it interesting that I have yet to have anyone bring up the Ukraine situation.  At all.
