Sip Salon: Doomscrolling in the Age of Endless News
Advertisement
Welcome to the Sip Salon where we gather to learn together through articles and discussion. No experts, just curious folks coming together to discuss topics. Whether you know a little or a lot, we hope to grow together in our understanding. With drinks.
This month we will discuss how we’re drowning in information—and it’s exhausting. From nonstop headlines to endless social media hot takes, our brains are constantly being asked to process everything, all the time. In this SIP Salon, we’ll explore “critical ignoring”—a research-backed strategy for deciding what not to pay attention to so we can protect our mental energy, relationships, and ability to think clearly.
Together, we’ll unpack how information overload actually makes us more stressed, more reactive, and more likely to fall for bad information—and why learning to ignore certain content isn’t laziness, it’s wisdom. You’ll learn quick, practical cues for spotting posts and stories that aren’t worth your time, how emotional language hijacks attention, and why choosing a few trusted sources beats doomscrolling every feed.
This is not about checking out—it’s about checking in more intentionally. Grab a drink, share your scrolling habits, and leave with tools to stay informed without losing your mind. Cheers to reading less, thinking better, and reclaiming your attention.
