Here's a question nobody asks: why do you follow the accounts you follow?
Not the friends and family — that's fine. I'm talking about the other 400 accounts. The meme pages. The influencers you don't even like anymore. The news accounts that spike your cortisol before 7am.
Most men's digital lives look like a junk drawer. Random stuff thrown in over years with zero intention. And then they wonder why they feel anxious, distracted, and behind.
The fix is curation. And you need to be absolutely vicious about it.
Start with Instagram. Go through every single account you follow and ask one question: does this make me better? If the answer isn't an obvious yes, unfollow. No guilt. No "but I've followed them for years." Gone. Your feed should look like a personalized magazine of things that inspire you, educate you, or genuinely make you laugh.
Do the same with YouTube. Your subscriptions shape your recommendations, which shape your thinking. Subscribe to channels that teach you something. Unsub from everything else.
Then do it with your email — which, if you read last week's post, you've already handled.
This is why I started this newsletter. Because the concept of curation changed how I think about everything. When you realize that you are the editor-in-chief of your own information diet, you start treating every input like it matters. Because it does.
Your attention is the most valuable asset you own. More valuable than your money, your time, even your health — because where your attention goes, the rest follows.
Curate your inputs. Watch your life change.
