Save time - this is not the only reason for all abandon the newsreader.
News, especially in a format to which we are accustomed to, not only help to develop the brain and memory, but also, conversely, promote the development of superficial thinking, provoke multitasking and bury the person under tons of unnecessary information.
But lets proceed with the order, why you should stop sticks to the news in the mornings, evenings and at any time.
News capture and tightened
News reports are no longer just about what is happening - they have become a means of income. Therefore, for the attention of the consumer, that is, you are fighting many news programs, channels, sites, and applications.
Most of the news will not cause you any reaction, you apply its usual without sensation and catchy expressions. Therefore, the people who tell you about the news, specially embellished, substitute the concept and make a sensation out of the ordinary events.
Moreover, the news does not let you go just like that. After reading another sensation, which actually turned out to be an empty shell, you catch the eye following similar news, and this sensation again, and you go back to it.
As a result, you are strongly linked and spend time on useless information for you, which was filed in such a way that to abandon it is almost impossible to read.
The really important news you will not miss
Not only do you spend your time, you still do not get anything in return. After all, most of the news really does not concern you, and are not reflected in your work, standard of living, relationships.
If the news that you are reading, not directly related to your profession or even the country in which you live, they have a huge chance you will not be useful. Even to start a conversation with a stranger in a bar or to interrupt an awkward pause in the conversation.
It may seem that, ignoring the news resources, you fall out of the life of society. This is not true.
Firstly, most of the news grinds the distant past, or has not yet come, but "much anticipated" event.
Secondly, the really serious and important news about the dramatic changes in the world, you will learn from other people: tell friends and family, will see a parody of ridiculous pablike, read on the entrance door, you will hear when a siren sounds outdoors.
News is bad for the brain and spoil the mood
Initially, our brain will automatically believe in all that they say and other people write. Some time later you to rethink the information and, perhaps, doubt written. But there is another important point - a waste of energy.
Due to the centuries-honed survival mechanism of the brain does not like to waste energy, and doubt and reflection - a costly affair.
Relaxed flipping news, you do not even think about whether this is true or fiction newsmen to attract attention.
You automatically believe everything that is written, and jump from one to the other short news. The brain gets used to superficial thinking, and you become more and more difficult to focus on the serious things, to delve into a particular topic.
The abundance of information fast and catchy content is changing the way of thinking, so that people less and less able to concentrate. It does not sound very appealing, does not it?
Moreover, news and harm your emotional sphere, bringing it empty disorders that you can not change. Our life and so full of anxiety and stress, it is worth more to add to it a negative, which does not apply to you?
You do not replenish the knowledge - you lose time
Only a very small percentage of News brings to people useful information, other articles needed for entertainment. This light of knowledge that are forgotten almost immediately after reading, and do not give you anything.
Reading entertainment news fast food to distract you from what really matters, but to abandon it as difficult as from snacking in fast food chains. When used to scroll news feeds and Public with easy submission of information, the first time will have to force yourself to read at least a fiction, not to mention professional.
But when you still decide to take this step and remove from your life everything that is connected with the "Consumer news"Very soon feel the benefits: change the thinking itself and free up more time for the really useful things.
