Execute source removal decisions immediately during audits…

Execute source removal decisions immediately during audits rather than creating deferral lists, to prevent audit theater that produces no behavioral change.

Why This Is a Principle

This follows from axioms about behavior execution: Behavior requires an initiating signal to occur… (behavior requires initiating signal), Behavior occurs when three elements converge simultaneously (MAP model—Motivation, Ability, Prompt), and Implementation intentions (if-then plans) significantly… (implementation intentions increase follow-through). It prescribes immediate action—unsubscribe now, not later—because deferral breaks the link between decision and execution.

Source Lessons

Review your information sources quarterly

Regularly audit what you consume and cut sources that produce more noise than signal. Without scheduled review, your information environment silently degrades — and you adapt to the noise without noticing.
