			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<strong>Information overload</strong>&#8221; is a term popularized by Alvin Toffler that refers to the difficulty a person can have understanding an issue and making decisions that can be caused by the presence of too much information. The term itself is mentioned in a 1964 book by Bertram Gross, The Managing of Organizations. <a title="more about Information overload in wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_overload">See more about Information overload in wikipedia</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve spent lots of time on the internet without thinking too much and too deep. I find it become a really anxiety. Because I just let all information flow into my mind; however it&#8217;s seems a little bit hard to think them clearly. I&#8217;d like to take it as a downside.</p>
<p>How to avoid information overload? I figure out some tips here:</p>
<p><strong>1. Filter according to profession &amp; hobbies. </strong><br />
I have to know, my profession and my hobbies may decide what kind of information I would like to flow into my mind. So I set up a filter according to my profession &amp; hobbies.</p>
<p><strong>2. One hour per day for all headlines. </strong><br />
Before I apply my filter, I&#8217;d like to read all kinds of information to know what is happening around this world. Since there are too many good information, I cannot take them all. I decide to spend one hour perday for the browsing of the headlines generally, and mark some of the best.</p>
<p><strong>3. One or two hours to think and analyze the most useful information for me.</strong><br />
Of course, the best way is taking some notes here, I think. Learn from the source information and be critical, what is right, what is wrong. After reorganizing my ideas, I&#8217;ll write a outline here.</p>
