to the mind what sugar is to the body. Spending time

Spending too much time reading the news, is a
waste of time with things that we cannot
influence and are irrelevant to our goals.

It’s almost impossible for anyone to focus and
produce high quality work without giving their
brain some time to rest and recharge
