Control inflow of information

The first thing you need to get control over is the inflow of information. This is a matter of signal to noise. Some people may be a lot “noisier” than others. Tweeting about stuff you have no interest in. It will take a while to learn what people share and what you want to see.

Unfollowing someone noisy is a good first step; muting and blocking them is more aggressive. All of these are reversible decisions. I’ve ended up following people I’ve blocked because I made a mistaken snap judgment. Other people act as “signal boosters,” Retweeting and quote Tweeting important/quality stuff from others. You can stay on top of interesting but noisy people by leaning on others who do the filtering work for you.
