News is bad for you – and g...

A couple of years ago I decided to stop watching daily news. I got too frustrated, too powerless, too depressed... I just thought that every time I'd fire up TV I'd see BAD NEWS and not just news. Now I know I was on to something. Ditching daily news is actually good for you.

For the record: I do follow industry information and read articles daily... but I don't follow "daily news" of "things happening in the world"... and I can't say I'm not happier like this. If something really important happens, other people eventually tell me about it :-)

My new credo: "No news is good news. Daily news is bad news" :-)
