Important Information

A lot of people are producing LESS and screwing up MORE...

 

If you spend more time receiving and managing information - than actually using it – you could be nearing a breaking point. According to time management expert Michele Vivona, increasing amounts of incoming information is decreasing our productivity and increasing our mistakes.

It might be time to censor yourself if:

• The majority of information you receive is not relevant to what you’re doing.

• Time is wasted sifting through unrelated information to find what you need.

• Work days are longer - or you have trouble accounting for time spent working.
• Appointments or deadlines are missed due to miscommunication.

It’s important for us to manage our incoming information and prioritize it by category. It’s better to let non-urgent information wait until you can absorb it thoroughly than to let bits and pieces in. It’s also a good idea to consider OTHER people’s work load factor before feeding them information they don’t really need.
