How Are You Reading?

Chaparral asked how can we help one another avoid information overload? We know there is so much going on right now. Maybe you find you don't have time or space to read what you used to. What is one recommendation you have to consume information right now?

Deb Diel in Film, TV & Media Arts, Visual and Performing Arts:

'I listen to daily news summaries during morning tasks or the drive in to school. It keeps me informed with the most salient issues, while helping me avoid distraction from provocative headlines and/or subjective commentaries."

"I find myself revisiting a show, a movie, or a book that brings comfort to my mind. I also participate in activities that bring peace to my body. Increasing my mental comfort and physical peace levels has alleviated the heartache that comes when I do consume all that's going on right now."

"I used to get news from social media and found myself doom scrolling for hours. To reset my day, I have limited my consumption to 1-2 hours only in the late morning using my phone's screentime app."
