Information Overload

Are you like so many others suffering from Information Overload?

Can you say that your mind is wandering with all the different things you’ve found, read, seen, or heard.

To keep it real and simple I wanted to give you the definition of  Information Overload:

“Information Overload is a symptom of the high-tech age, which is too much information for one human being to absorb in an expanding world of people and technology. It comes from all sources including TV, newspapers, magazines as well as wanted and unwanted regular mail, e-mail and faxes.”

It has been exacerbated enormously because of the formidable number of results obtained from multiple Web search engines and informational products.

Tell me……Does that sound familiar? 

Information is always a great thing when wanted but even when you want it, when you go looking for it, the vast array of answers you will find can be daunting.  I will be the first to admit that I am an information sponge.  I look to the web, the television, books, radio, friends and more for information that I need. 

Just when I think I have it all someone might casually drop the “oh by the way” and the inevitable “you know about this don’t you” which will surely send me looking to discover even more information.  Thus the overload begins.

Managing all the information we take in throughout our day is a normal process that we have become accustomed to.  However when adding even more information to that we can quickly see how the overload effect can come in to play.

Recently I read a great book on how to manage the information overload syndrome and I thought I would pass the link over to any of you who might want to take a look at it.  It has some great tips in the book to help you understand how to take control of what you need to do.

To list a few highlights you can learn about look at the list below and see if the subjects are in areas you could apply:

1. Choosing your path
2. Managing Information and Using It Effectively
3. Find only what you need
4. Learn how to stop getting more and more and more
5. Learn to stop the interruptions and distractions
6. Clear the clutter
7.  ”I Know Enough” and much much more.

Like I mentioned earlier this is a book I own and have read.  I found it to be very informative and inexpensive.  The cost is only $10.00 and I found it to be a wise investment.  I think that having this information will help me daily in other areas and will prove to be a valuable product that I keep for a long time to come.

If you’re tired of trying to sort all the information you have give this book a try   Information Overload Killer
