Information Overload is Real — Here’s the Tool Helping Me Remember What Matters
TL;DR:
We’re living in an age of algorithm overload — constantly consuming, rarely retaining. Between social feeds, online courses, and unread bookmarks, our minds are overflowing yet starving for depth. I found a solution that finally helps me keep what matters and let go of the rest: Readwise.io. It’s a digital “second brain” that organizes, reads, and reminds you of the ideas that actually shape your growth. And because we believe in resourcing our community with tools that work, we’ve partnered with them to offer you a free 60-day trial (yep, twice the usual time).
The Struggle: Learning in a World That Never Stops Talking
We’ve never had this much access to knowledge — yet it’s never felt harder to learn.
Between podcast episodes, social media tips, audiobooks, and saved links, we’re collecting information like magpies. But when it’s time to apply it — to live it — it’s gone. Lost somewhere in the endless scroll.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve highlighted something powerful in a book, only to forget it days later. Or how often I’ve told myself, “Oh, I’ll come back to that later,” only to never find it again.
And it’s not just about forgetfulness. It’s about focus. The modern algorithm isn’t designed to nurture your mind — it’s designed to capture it. Every “you might also like” and “for you page” pulls you further from your inner compass and floods your nervous system with noise.
So even when we’re trying to grow, it feels like we’re spinning in circles. Consuming, forgetting, and starting all over again.
That’s not growth — that’s exhaustion.
Why Traditional Learning No Longer Works
We were raised on a system that taught us to memorize, not integrate. To absorb, not embody.
And when the internet entered the chat, it didn’t fix that — it amplified it. We went from textbooks to TikToks, from lectures to threads. Our attention spans shrunk, but our curiosity didn’t.
Now we’re left trying to keep up with a flood of ideas, trends, and teachings without the structure to make them stick.
It’s like trying to catch rain with a sieve.
That’s where I had to pause and ask myself — what if the problem isn’t me? What if the problem is the system I’m using to learn?
The Breakthrough: Creating a “Second Brain”
Enter Readwise.io — the tool that finally made my learning feel effortless again.
It’s like having a digital librarian, memory coach, and personal assistant — all in one.
Here’s what makes it a total game-changer:
✅ Everything you learn — in one place.
Your Kindle highlights, saved PDFs, newsletters, and even voice notes — all sync automatically. No more digging through tabs or email folders trying to find that one gem.
✅ It talks back. Literally.
The Reader app lets you listen to your saved content — from articles to RSS feeds — with just one click. That means your “to-read” list becomes your “listen while driving” list.
✅ No algorithm. No ads. No distractions.
The Reader app only shows you what you choose. You’re not being sold, tracked, or manipulated — you’re actually learning on your own terms again.
✅ Remember what you read.
This one feature alone changed how I retain information: Readwise’s daily review surfaces your old highlights in bite-sized chunks. Every day, you get a gentle reminder of something you once loved or learned — helping you truly embody it.
✅ Import anything.
Whether it’s PDFs from your yoga training, your favorite self-development book, or even your own notes from Energy of Creation courses — it all goes in there.
The result? You start building a “living archive” of your personal evolution.
You stop hoarding information and start remembering wisdom.
Why This Matters for Our Community
At Energy of Creation, our mission is to help our community Enlighten. Empower. Evolve.
We know the world isn’t built to support our pace, our creativity, or our neurodivergent brilliance. We know that for BIPOC, Queer, and Neurospicy folks, the world’s noise can make it hard to hear your own inner voice.
That’s why we’re not just talking about personal growth — we’re building systems that support it.
Partnering with Readwise.io is one of the ways we’re putting real tools into your hands. Tools that simplify, declutter, and help you focus on what actually grows you.
Imagine this:
Instead of twenty open tabs, you have one calm space where all your insights live.
Instead of forgetting what inspired you, you review it every morning while sipping your tea or stretching before work.
Instead of chasing “what’s next,” you deepen into what you already know.
That’s integration. That’s evolution.
A Tool That Honors the Way We Learn
What I love most about Readwise is that it honors nonlinear learners.
It doesn’t matter if your brain likes to jump around or if you’re constantly collecting new ideas — Readwise meets you where you are.
You can move from reading about emotional healing to sound therapy to ancestral wisdom, and it will keep up — quietly organizing your insights behind the scenes.
And over time, it starts to reflect you.
Your growth, your curiosity, your evolution.
That’s what makes this more than just a productivity app. It’s a mirror for your learning journey — a digital altar for your mind.
