Information Overload!!

While I love how far technology has come in this digital information age, it has also become one of the greatest distractions of our time.  Social connectivity and the infinite wealth of knowledge can really take people away from their work (for me, studying).  For anyone struggling with this issue, check out this article, which has some strategies on how to train yourself to balance work with distractions.

There is also an official Information Overload Research Group, which seeks to help businesses fight information pollution.  Pretty interesting.  

But now I'm shutting off my email, Facebook, IM, and blog... got to work.  Peace.

UPDATE: Just found out that Cousin Max blogged on this very subject!
