Information Overload
Submitted by rene on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 19:10.
With the amount of information available for your consumption everyday, it is unlikely that you are processing each piece of information as much as you should. In fact, your mind might actually feel fatigued as it gets exposed to too much information everyday. If you are working online, then this scenario is even more suitable for you because there is always the pressure to learn as much as you should in order to stay ahead of the competition. But scanning through many articles a day and absorbing none of it may even be worse because it is simply a waste of time and effort. You need to prioritize. You should determine your goal, your purpose, and your niche in working over the internet. Once these aspects are determined, you need to prioritize these aspects. These means you should first look into new information that are relevant to your needs and business before you look into other information. That way, you will get the kind of information that is most beneficial for you. You can utilize some tools that will enable you to get these kinds of relevant information. The first is to subscribe to the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs and websites. The content will be delivered right at your “doorstep”. Meanwhile, you also browse through some available add-ons which can update you on the latest news and developments in the industry you are interested in. |
