If you want to start creating rather than procrasti-researching, it’s time to curate your content diet. Here are a few tools to get you started.

1. Twitter Lists

   I currently follow more than 1200 people on my primary Twitter account. My feed is overwhelming. I make heavy use of Twitter Lists so I can focus my attention when I’m on twitter on a specific topic of interest.

2. Medium

   I’ve been a long time subscriber to Medium. Medium is a hub for great writers, putting out quality content on a myriad of niche topics. It’s also one of the best places to start writing AND making a little money from your writing if you join their partner program.

3. Mailbrew

   The new email indicator on your phone or computer is one of the biggest distractions there is. Take charge by using a service like Mailbrew to put all your resources in one place and control when it arrives in your inbox.

Practice religious unsubscribing of anything that you don’t read, watch, or listen to regularly.

If you want to stop scrolling and start creating, try one of these ideas to curate your content diet. Then, put your own pen to paper or fingers to keyboard and start writing.

Keep a healthy diet of content to fuel you rather than weigh you down.
