Stop reading the news?

Just finished reading this insightful article:

Couldn't agree more.  Seems like we are constantly caught up in the thick of thin things.  We consume huge amounts of news and social media, but actually do less real work. 

I believe that this author's solution is right: Be selective about what media and content we take in, and don't watch everything develop in real-time.  Maybe then we can get a portion of our sanity back, and start focusing on more important matters.
