One approach to handle all this information, could be a graded approach to information that is of varying priorities. Out of the time we dedicate for keeping up with information, we can spend 70% of the time keeping up with those things that are immediately important to us, 20% on those things that may be important in the near future, and 10% on things that are on the distant horizon.

We need to go back to getting information from the dump trucks – they can drop a load off, we can sift through it, and call for another delivery when we’re ready… ;)

Sorry for any confusion.

That explains the numbers. A lot of people have a terrible time with productivity and procrastination, for example. They don’t make the connection between those problems and the vast amount of information they spend time taking in, trying to sort out and make sense of. We are saturated in information, of which only a tiny percentage is of any real value to most of us. It’s a problem, and will continue to be, until we can compartmentalize our particular interests and needs; and find better ways to screen content – and our time – to be productive without feeling whatever-it-is-you-want-to-call-it that leaves so many people feeling drained.

I appreciate your insight on this topic. There are a few suggestions I will need to set-up as soon as I have time.

I am very surprised at the 73% who say they do NOT feel over-loaded by information, but I guess that really depends on people’s personal predilections as well as their jobs. Neither may lead them into the vast reservoir of Knowledge at their fingertips, just like in previous times, not huge numbers of people read for non-fiction pleasure or watched anything other than asinine TV.

I think the power of personal habit — getting enough sleep, proper nutrition etc, cannot be emphasized enough — but that, of course, is because I have spent lots of time plumbing the depths of Knowledge, focusing my attention on the Health arena.

Thanks for ideas that will help me get-the-word-out.

Best to all — Em

If I am connected to the right people I don’t have to read every blog or receive every news feed. Being connected enables me to hear the things I need to hear not to mention save me time to do the things I want to do.

Great information!
