There are certain things we can do to get back some of the wasted time from our already fragmented lives.
I recently read an article on "Information Weight loss program" about how to reduce the absorption of junk information in the age of information explosion. After reading, I felt very helpful, so I copied it and posted it on the workstation. This is the first post I cut after moving to the new station, and I took a picture and sent it to Weibo.
I made a bad, with the words "I want to lose weight". Sure enough, basically all the comments and forwarding people are talking about weight problems, and nobody seems to notice that it's not about "losing weight" in the usual sense. Replies do not look at the post, that is the case.
However, I can understand why this is happening. You want to Ah, the replies when everyone in micro-blog to read posts: Friends have a bunch of fun to share, stars have gossip can be dug, the media threw out the size of news reports, marketing numbers in the collective selling Soul chicken soup. At this time, Micro Bo in the upper right corner of the small yellow sign in the cheerful flashing, around the phone and landline in the happy singing, Outlook excited to tell you again three to five new mail ...
If these phenomena look familiar to you, it is likely that information overload will occur. Unfortunately, the information is overwhelming, but the real value is getting less. And the information we consume every day is a lot of meaningless rubbish.
Eating too much junk food can cause serious health problems, and consuming a lot of junk information can have similar consequences. The most immediate phenomenon is that time is seriously fragmented and will become more irritable. The concrete appearance is as follows: You are difficult to find the high quality information directly from the search engine, no matter how the search engine optimizes the algorithm, more or less always has the feeling of powerlessness. Watching TV will continue to change channels, more than 30 satellite channel turned over, and finally did not find a favorite show. You open Sina home page may just want to see the big things at home and abroad, but unknowingly will point to open a few editors recommended blog posts to see, may also be conveniently forwarded to the microblog. If you encounter a long depth article, you'll be great, and then save it in your Favorites folder, but you may never open it again.
The technological revolution has made it easier to get information, and our ability to process information has not been matched. Give me an example of myself. Well, I spent a lot of time online collecting a lot of videos, e-books and other materials in my home broadband upgrade. It took a longer time to download them back, and I haven't had a chance to look at them yet. The information is still on my hard drive, and their presence just makes me feel secure. I really didn't get any real benefits (instead of a removable hard drive) unless I could find time to digest them one by one.
If there is a problem with digestion, take the initiative to reduce some intake. Can be the source of information around the simple division of priorities, different treatment. If you care about everything, see the lively on the past, that and the streets do not do what difference?
Stop complaining about the lack of time, and you should know that everyone has a fixed 24 hours of time each day. The reason why it is not enough may be related to our life and work habits. There are certain things we can do to get back some of the wasted time from our already fragmented lives.
I'll give you some ideas.
For example, less on TV watching TV, you can try to connect the computer with the TV, direct to Youku and Archie. Doing so can reduce the time wasted, at least by reducing the advertising between the episodes from 15 minutes to two minutes. Now that video sites are buying genuine episodes, you can already actively consume content, rather than passively receiving content as before.
The time to limit social networking, for example, does not have to be stared at all day long. Is it enough to take a more than 10-minute concentrated brush each day early and late in the morning? Chicken Soup for the soul. There are ubiquitous IM tools, why do you have to open MSN or QQ when working? Turn it off. Life and work on the emergency or to the phone and mobile better. Time is the whole piece, you shouldn't break it easily.
These two ideas can help you control your information intake, and you can do something to improve the output of your information.
For example, pick up the habit of blogging, regularly put your ideas systematically sorted out. If it is not convenient to release directly, only save on the computer can also (remember to do backup OH). If you don't know what to write, you can start with book reviews and film reviews. After reading a book, after watching a movie, remember to spend some time to write down the books and impressions and post them on the Internet to share with you.
