A little thought on how to choose a information diet
Constantly new information, new videos, new articles and publications find their way from a private document into the world, and from there directly into your inbox or RSS reader.
Today’s world requires an unprecedented amount of information to be absorbed and processed. Therefore, be selective in the choice of your information consumption as well as in the way you consume it. Select sources consciously and establish an effective reading strategy to make the most of the information.
You can’t read all, all the time. It can be advidable to use waiting times, for example on your way to work, to absorb information- but be aware that these information need to have a value for you.
Your time and energy are both investment ressources and you should make sure that you use them wisely in order to gain an advantage or to have a return on investment.
- Which information has truly a value for you? Which kind of information helps you in your life?
- Where can you find the kind of information you need to have to advance in life/ in your career?
- Where can you find quality information about that subject/ issue? What are the main publications with a stellar reputation in that field? What are the main industry outlet everyone should read?
