Information Diet
Have you heard this term? I saw it in a comment on an Instagram reel. Someone was saying they put their mother on an information diet because she couldn’t rely on her for support. I call that boundaries, but thought “information diet” was a clever way to say it.
I googled information diet and this was the first search:
An information diet refers to the conscious and deliberate management of one’s information consumption habits. It involves curating, limiting, and optimizing the intake of information from various sources to improve productivity, mental well-being, and decision-making capabilities.
Different context, but this definition sounds like something we should all do for ourselves.
Hope This Helps
Ha, I have seen the phrase “hope this helps” used sarcastically so many times on the internet that when I see it used genuinely, I am a bit sus.
A Weird Situation
I saved the best for last. I got the most bizarre email on my blog account yesterday. At first I had it pasted below but that doesn’t seem nice so I will summarize it:
The email said they (let’s call them Greg) had a weird situation where someone used an internet phone number (to hide who they were – they suspected their ex) to contact them to request a print job, then sent these photos. So Greg traced the photos through the internet and found my blog and asked me to call him to clear this all up.
Y’all, just, what?! These are the photos that were attached:
I am not trying to order prints of these, and don’t think anyone in them is either. Super LOL. I didn’t call Greg but if he sees this, here is his answer.
