Don't get swayed easily — filter noise

🎯 Why it matters

Twitter / Reddit / Hacker News = noise factory. Every strong opinion has confident expression — doesn't mean it's right. Founder conviction = company direction anchor. Without filter = pivot weekly → 5 years later, built nothing.

📊 ROI highlights

• Conviction preserved → 5-year compound accumulation
• Fewer pivots → each pivot costs 6 months + $50k
• Do-not-read list: unfollow 30 noise sources = attention reclaim 30%

⚠️ Common mistakes

• Every strong opinion sways you
• Treating Twitter / Reddit as advisor
• Acting on advice immediately, no cooldown

✅ Action checklist

• Write 4-layer filter — apply to every opinion
• Build "do-not-read list" — unfollow 30+ noise sources
• Any advice you want to act on: 48hr cooldown
• Monthly: review — did I get unjustifiably swayed last month
