You don’t have to know everything that’s going on. It won’t change your life and you often won’t have the means to affect the situation.

For example, I don’t know what’s going on in New Zealand. I’ve heard vague things about the shooting from people talking about it but I’m not even going to bother looking it up.

People die every day for depressing reasons. This is just another event that is only differentiated by the fact that it captured the attention of a Western audience.

Instead, I’m focusing on other things that I’ve already decided need my time. Don’t let the news set your agenda. You can be informed on a slower cadence despite what people and the 24/7 news factory would want you to believe.
