How do you stay informed without getting overwhelmed?

Lately, I’ve been realizing how exhausting it is to keep up with everything. Between constant notifications, 24/7 headlines, and social media, it feels impossible to stay informed and sane.

I used to start every morning scrolling through news apps and Twitter, trying to “catch up,” but I’d end up stressed before I even had breakfast. That’s what pushed me to create a simple system for myself — a short daily email that filters out the noise and focuses only on the stories that actually matter to me.

But I’m curious about what works for other people.

How do you stay on top of the news without feeling like it’s running your day?

Do you have a morning routine, a go-to source, or an app that helps keep things calm and focused?

Would love to hear your thoughts — maybe we can all learn some better habits together.
