Strategic ignorance
Strategic ignorance is not about being closed-minded. It's knowing what you want.
It's realizing how easy a person can be derailed. You even avoid amazing situations that you know is really a distraction. You create boundaries and live your priorities and values and dreams.

Why Knowing Stuff Doesn't Really Matter - The Mission - Medium
Knowing things
There is no inherent value in knowledge of a fact.
Two things are far more important than what you know: What you can learn, and what you know you don’t need to know.
Identifying what doesn't matter
The most valuable skill for success in diverse circumstances might be the ability to quickly identify what doesn’t matter.
Discern what is not of fundamental importance and ignore it.
Humility and self-confidence
Successful people know what they don’t need to know and they don’t waste effort trying to learn it.
But most people feel pressure to know a lot of useless stuff because it will save them the embarrassment of ever appearing to not know something.

Why You Suck at Self-Awareness
Self Awareness
Self Awareness is our ability to observe and accurately identify our thoughts, feelings and impulses, and determine whether they are grounded in reality or not.
Benefits
1. What Are You Doing?
- We avoid pain through distraction. We transport our minds to some other time or place or world where it can be safe and insulated from the pain of day-to-day life.
- Now, there’s nothing wrong with distraction. We all need some sort of diversion to keep us sane and happy. The key is that we need to be aware of our distractions.
- The goal with distraction isn’t to defeat distraction, it’s merely to develop an awareness and control of our distractions.
2. What Are You Feeling?
- What people often find is that the more they remove themselves from distraction, the more they are forced to actually deal with a lot of the emotions that they’ve been avoiding for a long time.
- It takes time to become comfortable with all of your emotions.
- BUT, emotions can also be distractions from other emotions. Part of developing a strong sense of emotional intelligence is being able to discern which emotions that you experience are important to act on and which emotions should be acknowledged and felt and nothing more.
