Accept you are suffering from information overload
I remember my school days when it was hard to get information on a subject. Information was expensive and information was king. Then came the internet era and Information overload came into our lives. Now, my regular workday starts with checking emails on three separate accounts, checking Facebook and LinkedIn.
In theory, it sounds great to have any information available to me just by clicking and typing few words in my browser. This information was never available to a small business owner before. But what is the point of all this information? Everyone else have access to the same information as well. So where is the competitive advantage? What can we do about it?
First step in solving any problem is accepting that you have a problem.
I know that I am spending a lot of time on unnecessary things and tasks in my daily life. I don’t know the solution yet, but at least I have admitted it is a serious problem for my business and for my daily life. I am opening it for discussion and potential solutions to information overload.
