A: is the information useful or helpful to something I'm actually doing? (Vs useful or helpful to a theoretical future plan)
B: do i already have enough information on this topic?
C: is the acquisition of this information causing me stress or taking too much time away from other things?
I did decide to stop reading psychology articles bc of this process. I have enough information about psychology to make reasonable decisions for myself, and continuing to read about it gets me into emotional states about the accuracy and uses of the information. After a while i realized that I'm no longer gaining anything from new information on this topic, and it would be more productive to spend time writing and working on my own ideas relating to the information i already have.
