Too many blog or what? -The information explosion are Mr

We live in the information age. Daily flow an infinite information. Also and especially self-employed on the Internet as never before have so many good information. However, sooner or later also the problem of flooding with information arises. A few tips against the information explosion.

Information value

For self-employed persons traveling in the rapidly changing Internet market news often mean the difference between success and failure. In many blogs and Web sites, often useful information be transferred free of charge. Who here informed keeps can gain important and sometimes decisive advantages.

But also long-term use information. We get many information about the market and the competing companies. Also can you publish your own information, and increase the own value or the value of the own company.

Information damage

In an era where millions of blogs and websites to provide information on the Internet daily, thousands newsletter are circulating and offline countless information provider be there quickly to an unhealthy information overload. The really positive information diversity can quickly umschlagen in a situation where it be too much information, hardly add, let alone because productive process.

Then rotates the actually desired effect to win: security and ability to act in the opposite. It is rather hesitant and feel it is no longer grown the matter.

But we I can avoid this. How can you use the positive impact of information without stumble into the trap of “Information overload”.

Permanent cleanup

A solution that has proven quite well for me is the permanent cleanup. The idea is about that just as we constantly finds new sources of information, verified as existing and, where applicable, removing.

Specifically blog subscriptions this effect occurs very often because you surfing again interesting feeds comes and saves them in the own Feedreader. Gradually it will increasingly and one has to read dozens of news and articles then per day. It rotates the simplicity of the blogs in the negative.

I check every week whether possibly too many blogs in my Feedreader in it are for specific topics and schmeiße out the worst. Free after saying Manager legend Jack Welch:

“fire the bottom 10% of employees” I am from
“Fire the Bottom 10% of your RSS feeds!”

(Only for clarity.) Jack Welch not meant today to popular job reduction but introduced a new employees 10% in the same breath. (This process should lead only to have the best employees in the company.)

As soon as I find new feeds they come first in quarantine and I look at some time the feed me and then decide whether it them value to keep. At the same time (usually) an existing feed must give way. Here feeds play back from benefits because once removed they are gone really, such as newsletters, where it is often more difficult.

Also could and you should do this with other sources of information. Journals, books, podcasts, etc.
information mix which is manageable and with which you feel. And do mercilessly, when it comes time rauszuschmeißen sources.
