Information Overload

With all the information coming at us,
it's no wonder we feel overwhelmed.

Many busy professionals feel inundated with information coming from a myriad of sources – email messages, voice mail, listservs, trade journals, websites, etc. As a result of trying to keep up with it all, you might experience "information anxiety," which can make you feel overwhelmed, inadequate and uninformed. The reality is you are expected to efficiently absorb relevant and time-sensitive material no matter the quantity. So how can you do it?
