Ask any online business owner who is making at least a little, and you will hear about information overload and the problems it presents. We used to suffer greatly from it but not anymore. There is real danger for all but the most experience because you can read something that is erroneous and be led astray. Therefore it is very obvious that you have to get a firm handle on information so you can use it productively rather than the opposite. Information overload is a real and serious threat, and that is why we have written this article on what you can do about it.
We know this is not the first time you have heard the term, information overload. If you subscribe to newsletters, then you know every single day will present new forms of information someone wants to sell you. What many of us do is pick and choose what needs to be read now and what can wait. You have to realize that a lot of information out there is junk and finding the right source and working on it is necessary to separate the good from the bad. Weeding out what is really not needed is important and everything else will flow from that, and there is a lot more on the table. If you are not properly organized with your tasks, then that will waste a lot of your time. One very revealing exercise is to just pay attention to daily behavior and take note of where you waste time with information. You can save a ton of time and focus on the priorities when you get organized. One thing about RSS is that it is great for reading information and news that is important, and you can customized your feeds as well.
Email can be one of the toughest to manage in terms of sheer time spent dealing with it. So the solution to the email dilemma is actually fairly straightforward, at least we think. What so many people do is just check it once or even twice a day but spread-out at a common sense interval. There obviously can be exceptions such as when you may be expecting something that is time sensitive.
Information overload has been a fact of online business life for many years, and it grows naturally; but you must tame it any way you can. We cannot force anyone to do anything, and that is why these things are all a part of your business decision process. You have to read information to stay current and learn, and so it just becomes something that needs to be optimized.
