Mastery of Information Overload - Breathing Space Blog

What does "mastery" of information overload look and feel like for me? As author of Breathing Space, people ask me.

* Keeping my desk clear, because clear spaces are an invitation for me to create.

* Having my email inbox periodically at zero because I've allocated everything.

* Maintaining a few key subscriptions via mail and a few online services.

* Focusing on the handful of key indicators that tell me how I'm doing.

* Staying in touch with knowledgeable peers, people who can share with me

* Forsaking megalomania – developing the ability to let go, not be on so many lists, not receive so many subscriptions, not have handle to much information.
