Information is cheap. Attention is not.

When information was scarce, the hard part was finding it. Now the hard part is choosing what to ignore — and nothing in the system is designed to help you choose.

The premise

A feed is a budget you did not set

Every scroll spends minutes you never allocated. The cost is invisible because it is paid in small amounts, continuously.

The mechanism

Choose the filter, not the item

You cannot evaluate everything on the way past. What you can do is decide in advance what gets in — the filter is the only decision that scales.

The move

Idea

Attention is the scarce resource

Everything competing for your day is competing for the same thing.
