Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Swimming through a tsunami of feeds and pings
Every tech blog screaming what tomorrow brings
Slack notifications multiplying like spring
Your calendar drowns in the noise they sing
Time slips away while you scroll and chase
Every breakthrough, every framework's race

[Chorus]
Filter first, then focus tight
Quality beats the endless bite
Morning scan, afternoon dive
Evening sweep to stay alive
Information diet starts today
Cut the clutter, find your way

[Verse 2]
Pick three sources you can trust and keep
Stack Overflow when your code runs deep
One newsletter for the weekly sweep
Industry leaders whose wisdom's not cheap
Set your timers, twenty minutes max
Knowledge harvesting without the tax

[Chorus]
Filter first, then focus tight
Quality beats the endless bite
Morning scan, afternoon dive
Evening sweep to stay alive
Information diet starts today
Cut the clutter, find your way

[Bridge]
Twitter storms and Reddit threads
Fill your brain but steal your edge
Strategic thinking needs some space
Not another database trace
Curate ruthlessly, consume with care
Leadership requires you to be aware

[Verse 3]
Friday summaries help you reflect
Which technologies deserve respect
Archive learnings in your second brain
So the knowledge doesn't wash like rain
Balance staying sharp with getting things done
Your team needs leaders, not another one

[Chorus]
Filter first, then focus tight
Quality beats the endless bite
Morning scan, afternoon dive
Evening sweep to stay alive
Information diet starts today
Cut the clutter, find your way

[Outro]
Sustainable rhythms beat the binge
Knowledge flows without the cringe
CTO minds need breathing room
To see beyond the coding gloom
