The News Diet That Changed My Life

Jim Stovall recently shared something that stopped me in my tracks.

He said he’s cut his news consumption down to just 15–20 minutes a day.

At first, I balked. Only 15 minutes? I love the news. I love knowing what’s happening, where, and to whom. But then it hit me...

Do I really need a hot take on every single thing?

The truth is, we’re living in a world where anyone can say anything about everything—and it usually adds up to a whole lot of nothing.

Jim’s not out of touch. He’s dialed in—on purpose. Intentional. Focused.

I realized, most of what we call “news” is noise. It distracts, not informs. It agitates, not elevates.

And here’s the kicker: All that time you spend scrolling, reacting, posting, and consuming the opinions of people you’ll never meet… that’s time you could be investing in yourself.

That’s one of the principles I lay out in my new book The Millionaire Code: Unlocking the Principles of Lasting Wealth. It all starts with that first and greatest investment—you.

Time is your most valuable asset. What you choose to do with it determines your trajectory.

I don’t hate the news. But I do love what happens when I fast from the frenzy and feast on purpose instead.

Maybe it’s time to adjust your diet, too.
