Information Diets - Keeping up without drowning
I used to run a website called InfoHigh, I saw that the world was slowly becoming a sea of rapid access information. And that certain people would be drawn to being in touch and up-to-date all the time. They would become addicted to being the most knowledgable person in topical events, a la Paris Hilton, Bhutto’s Assasination, the newest releaase of MacOS. You name it, they would know more than you.
I was one of those people, and it’s been hard for me to kick the habit. If only I’d run across Tim’s book earlier, I would have saved a lot of time. Certainly, all that time spent obsessing over the events of the day was wasted, and time that I wish I had back.
A recent guest post at Tim’s blog talks about how to stay in touch without the world, without being smothered by the 24 hour news cycle. You guys should check it out.

Hey this is a great idea! How is it going?
There is so much info out there I always see things I want to read on the web, but I never make it back to do so. Learning how to better manage this info would be great.
