The problem we all feel
How much information will you consume today?
Twenty tabs open?
A few dozen notifications?
A podcast in the background?
An AI-generated summary waiting in your inbox?
It never ends.
And that’s the problem. We don’t lack information.
We’re drowning in it.
We tell ourselves we’ll feel better once we read a little more.
Once we’ve saved the right post.
Once we’ve asked the perfect question to the perfect tool.
But does it help? Does it change anything for the better?
Or does it just leave us feeling more scattered, overwhelmed, and behind?
We are not suffering from a lack of information, but from a deluge of it.
Why more is not the solution to too much
Let’s break down where we’re headed:
- Information is growing exponentially. There’s no way our brains can handle the load.
- The result is overload — not clarity.
- So we build systems to help us manage the load.
- These systems become so complex that they’re black boxes. And what do these black boxes produce?
- More information.
- So now we need systems to manage the information created by the systems that manage the original information.
Sound familiar?
The cure for too much information is not more information. It’s clarity.
We assume that more information will give us the answer.
But think about your own life — how often do you read advice, process information you already know?
And how often do you do something with it?
What does work
More information does not equal transformation.Â

Information
|
Transformation
|
|---|---|
|
Passive consumption
|
Active application
|
|
Constant novelty
|
Repetition of essentials
|
|
External answers
|
Internal feedback loops
|
|
Leads to overwhelm
|
Leads to clarity and growth

If you want to:
- Handle stress better
- Feel more in control
- Rewire how you think, feel, and act
- Make real changes in your daily life
Then you don’t need more input.
You need consistent, focused output.
You need to:
- Recognize the practices that matter
- Apply the essentials
- Repeat
This is how transformation happens — not through more information, but through repeated application.
The missing piece isn’t smarter answers. It’s deeper practice.
Knowledge is only a rumor until it lives in the muscle.
How we do it at QLX
We use a simple method at QLX that works across contexts — from emotional growth to decision-making.
We call it our MASTER-process:
The steps of the process are simple (that’s kinda the point):
- Mindfully identify the challenge — notice what’s happening without judgment
- Assess possible solutions — don’t rush to act
- Select one approach that makes sense
- Take action — even a small one
- Evaluate what worked — did anything shift, even slightly?
- Repeat, repeat, repeat
Mastery comes through the consistent application of the essentials.
You don’t get fit by going to the gym once.
You don’t become calm by breathing once.
You don’t change your life by reading one more insight.
You change by practicing the essentials, over and over.
Don’t discard what doesn’t work the first time. You don’t get healthy after eating one apple either.
Final question
So perhaps we should ask ourselves:
Do I need more information? Or do I need to apply what I already know — more consistently, more honestly, more deliberately?
Because since when is more the solution to too much?
