Just the fact that I could check so many categories for this post proves my point before I even state it. A few months ago I was information, direction, and "how to" starved. Now, today, I'm in Too Much Information overload. I'm involved in two challenges, trying to jump start both my business and writing career, work on my relationships, and read every book suggested to me. So much information comes my way everyday, that I slowly think I'm developing ADD. Last week I sorely felt a lack of focus. I really got into reading the blogs in our Ultimate Blog Challenge group on Facebook, and while I was learning so much, I found my attention constantly split between all the things I'm trying to do. Then one blog finally called my attention to what's happening. Michelle Shaeffer posted this wonderful blog yesterday about why you must have information filters. I just have to share it with you in case you might think you have ADD, too. You will be relieved to find out you don't. You're just a normal product of the TMI age and need a few guidelines. She gives great tips on how to avoid the "I need too…" information trap.
And so, as another day goes by, you enjoy Michelle's wisdom while I go organize my life according to her advice, and….I have written.
