The Internet is fantastic. You can communicate with anyone, you can learn anything, you can read anything, the sky is the limit. But it is really easy to become overwhelmed and suffer from information overload. And what ends up happening is that you don’t accomplish anything because you are too distracted.

So here’s some steps you can take to end information overload:

• Only subscribe to 2 or 3 lists. Make sure these are lists that you enjoy reading or you can relate to
• Check your email twice a day only. If you run an online business make sure you put some disclaimer along with your contact info along these lines: Thank you for contacting us. We will respond within 24-48 hours.
• Spend less time in forums or social sites, unless you are there for a specific purpose, like asking a question, or helping someone out.
• Be very picky about the information you are digesting. Stay away from any form of negativity.
• Focus on one thing on your to-do list and finish it.
• Get away from the computer for a break every so often. Your eyes will thank you, and so will the rest of your body. You need to stretch, re-energize, re-group. You’ll find that you’ll be able to concentrate on tasks a lot better if you do that.

Learning to be selective about what information you are digesting on a daily basis will help you become a lot more productive and a lot less stressed.
