Via negativa wisdom and focus (Taleb/Nietzsche):

Decide what to consciously become ignorant of in order to focus on what you deem as truly great and worthy of yourself.

For example:

1. Don’t read or follow the news or current events: 99% of it is toxic noise. It will fuck up your mood and focus.
2. Cut toxic and gossipy people from your life. Ignore the gossip of others and focus on your own thoughts and life.
3. Cut advertisements and other distractions from your life. Also best to be ignorant towards any new shows, books, movies, etc.

Don’t think about what to add to your life, but what to CUT, subtract, and delete from your life.
