14 May 2010With the wonderful information available to us from sources worldwide, the temptation is to sign for updates.
On the one hand these bring so much, however this abundance can be costly.
Last week as I viewed my mounting inbox items, I felt an overwhelming sense of overload.
I felt quite bombarded. I knew I had to do something there and then to quell the feeling.
I made the ruthless decision to ‘delete’ many of these subscribed items to give me some space, similar to the feeling when I clear out unused household items.
My process was simple, I kept all important personal matters and the rest I viewed briefly to determine if it was in or out.
Surprisingly it strengthened my intuitive sense which drew me naturally to worthwhile information needed for the moment.
I realised the importance of such a process in this busy fast world of information via technology. It can otherwise feel like a battle where you sit on ‘do you or don’t you; follow, respond, read, save, forward?
So perhaps take some time to observe the impact on your ‘state of being’ from the social and professional media information that resides in your ‘inbox’.
Just a thought, have a good fortnight…
