Industry Fatigue
“There are of course things worth your time and deep consideration, and there are distractions. Profound new thinking and movements within our industry - the kind that fundamentally shifts the way we work in a positive new direction are worth your time and attention. Other things are distractions. I put new industry gossip, frameworks, software and tools firmly in the distractions category. This is the sort of content that exists in the padding between big movements. It’s the kind of stuff that doesn’t break new ground and it doesn’t make or break your ability to do your job.”
I really like the way this is broken down into the idea of distractions and things worth your time. Usually I wait a while and if a thing keeps getting talked about (like for a year or more) than it may be worth my time and I'll probably take the time to read more.
