It does take some time and some practice to make them a habit, but the biggest hurdle is getting past some initial feelings of information overload.Let me define the term \'information overload.\' Yes, too much information or rather too much un-categorized information, but that isn't what necessarily causes all our information anxiety. In some cases, it is more about managing our stress and time better -- skills and techniques we can learn and make them a habit. The first step is change your mindset -there are some psychological or ways that we think of web information that makes stresses us out.
- http://flickr.com/photos/ikhlasulamal/2417240335/You'll never be \'caught up\' and that's okayDo not feel bad about not reading the digital river of email, blog posts, or web content. Get what you can get in the amount of time you can spend, don't worry about the rest. The important bits will rise to the top. Don't feel guilty about mark all read or the delete button can be your best friend.think of your RSS feeds like an RSS river. You can jump in and play any time, and then get out any time, too. It's always going by, and you'll catch the important stuff - let the non-important stuff just flow on by.\'
- You don't have read every word of every blog in the universe to successfully build a communityScanning and pattern recognition is a really important skill to have been you need to look at a lot of information. Don't feel that you have to read every blog post of the blogs you're tracking. It helps if you identify what you need to know before drinking from the fire hydrant.http://www.flickr.com/photos/jim frazier/139376082/
- Don't live at the post office, on Twitter, or your blog softwareOr in Twitter, your blog or RSS reader. Set a frequency for your work flow - answering comments via email, doing outreach, writing posts. Set the time of day to check-in and a time limit - this is called time boxing. Stick to it; ignore your blog, email, or twitter until those magic times.The only time you're offline should NOT be when your are sleeping or in the bathroom. Although some people admit to twittering from the bathroom on their mobile phones and I'm sure there are others who have taken their laptops into the bathroom if the Internet reception is good. The idea is that you don't have to check your email or respond to Twitter or blog posts in real time. No one is going to die if you don't respond within 3 minutes. Remember what is urgent and what is not.
- Know when to turn the damn computer off and take a walkIt is important to carve out patches of time to allow yourself for understanding and processing the information you have consumed. This might mean disconnecting electronically on purpose. A scary thought to some but yes, power down, log off and turn off the phone and go for a walk.If you feel you have lost your concentration and productivity, it may be the stress that you give yourself by staring a monitor for too long. It is a good idea to stretch every 15-20 minutes. Even better to get up and take a walk. Drinking lots of water will not only help force you to get up from your desk, but also keep you hydrated. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cayusa/431036565/
