# You Aren't Gonna Read It (YAGRI) Filtering out the noise is important. We're constantly bombarded with information. It comes from all over the place. And if we don't learn to ignore most, we risk wasting our time consuming random things that don't move the needle forward. YAGRI is a reminder that you will probably not read it, and it's probably best to just ignore it. Use this as a reminder to ignore content, unless you know for a fact that it's going to be useful. It's all right to have fun and just read things out of curiosity. But most of the time, it's best to focus on really valuable and actionable content that you can take advantage of in the short term. ## Related - [[You Aren't Gonna Need It (YAGNI)]]
