Blog help: Are you over informed?
In an interesting game of blog ping-pong, Richard at Shards of Consciousness posted an article inspired by one of mine and now I’m posting one inspired by that one of his. Confused?
Richard discusses something that has niggled me for a while. Information overload. He says:
I read once that 5 - 10 minutes of reading should be balanced by 30 - 60 minutes of thought about what you read. I wouldn’t agree with these exact proportions, but for every little bit of reading you do, do a lot of thinking. Be selective in what you read. Take time to digest it. You’ll find that you’re less stressed and have more time to actually do something, and may even learn that you’ve been avoiding yourself and your own life by your frenetic attempts to read what others have to say.
