How To 10x Content Consumption Without Frying Your Brain
156: Powerful system. But not for everyone.
Welcome reader! Based on the feedback we received from our latest post on 2025 observations. We have decided to do a quick one on how to consume large amounts of content without frying your brain. In other words, how to let the AI do it for you… Bit off topic from our usual material, but it should be more than useful.
Our Take On Mass Consumption
Additional reading on consumption:
Positives of mass consumption: Learning something new and positioning yourself better than others will never go out of fashion. Some might argue that it has never been more important, given that everyone has access to the same dataset. On the other hand, specific fields (such as AI) are evolving at a rapid pace - that might be underestimated. AI and technology are growing at a rapid pace, and companies are hiring full-time staff to keep an eye on new updates and create documents about them. If that doesn’t make you realize how fast things are moving. Nothing will…
Negatives of mass consumption: Much more than positives. Rabbit hole, an endless pursuit of information which leads to never executing in the first place. We have frequently covered this topic on our website frequently. The key is to find a balance between consumption (learning) and execution. This is all it takes to win big. Leaning too heavily on one side of the spectrum? Poor results. Struggling with data and getting lost easily? You want to do everything you can to avoid that at all costs. The digital rat race is real.
Our approach: Fast. Simple. Efficient. Logical. You don’t have time to waste? This concept and outlook on how to approach the massive amounts of volume are for you. What is the idea behind the system? Hard to beat. Should this system be applied to everything? No. There is a hidden beauty in picking up material and going over it. Enjoying it. Allowing yourself to read something that will spark your imagination and make you think. Capturing those details that might seem unnecessary at first but provide a broader perspective is what it is all about. This makes the system perfect for those who want to stay updated with the latest information, specific topics, or extract ideas without wasting hours.
Things to keep in mind: As with any system, the more technical your skill set is… Things can be done better. You might find better ways to pull this off. You might find better prompts to ask the questions. You might find better material. The same applies to every part of the process, and no one can deny it, as technology and its capabilities continue to advance… Your approach should focus on finding an angle. One that will provide you with ideas and inspiration applicable to your specific situation. If something takes you 30 minutes to complete. Why would you not want to optimize it in a way that it takes you 5 minutes instead? That’s the point, and it’s something we are trying to convey to everyone reading this. Take what you like. Take what inspires you. Take what you find helpful and make it better. This works for us. However, we don't doubt that many more technical individuals will discover a better approach to make it work. What is important is the logic behind it. Not the process itself.
Requirements:
Specific idea you want to find out more about
Sources (newsletter, blogs, videos, handbooks) you use to extract the info from
Prompts to go as detailed as possible and help you with the system behind
Any AI agent of your choice to help you (Claude, ChatGPT, etc)
Python and API knowledge (you can skip this in some cases)
The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight. - Carly Fiorina
