Information overload
by Donna Moulds
Today we have access to more information
than we really need on a day to day basis.
The access to information is amazing and we
need information to make decisions,
understand things or even just to feed our
curiosity. However sometimes we have so
much information that it is conflicting and
leads to confusion. Too much information
can also lead to procrastination or in some
extreme cases not making a decision at all.
Expand your library and get started with
some of these, I have put together a short list
of books that have been great inspiration.
1.
The Advantage – Patrick Lencioni
Do you know what the advantage is, leadership
advantage and organisational advantage?
Understanding the organisational values leading to
exceptional customer service. How to develop team
congruency. This is a great read
2.
Multipliers - Liz Wiseman
Wow………. what an insightful book, I had never
looked at my leadership skills in such a different
way. Even when you think you are empowering
your team you may not be getting it right.
3.
3.
1.
Decide what you need to know and
the best ways to get the information
required. Planning a holiday for example you
could get the information from 3-5 separate
sources not 20. Buying technology, read some
reputable reviews.
2.
Someone has been where you are
going, holidays, gyms, chiropractors,
seminars. Ask others where they got their
information or ask for testimonials from places
you are planning to go, for example a Gym or
personal trainer, trekking company, dance
school, nutritionist.
4.
Be clear about what you want from
the information you are sourcing. If I
am looking for a new mobile phone I know
exactly what it MUST do and then I have some
idea of what I would like it to do. If I am looking
for a personal trainer I know what my goals are
that I need help in reaching.
Here are five tips to avoid information
overload:
Ancient Wisdom Modern Health –
Mark Bunn
We often know what our body mind and spirit need
but sometimes we can get a little off track. This
book is a great reminder of how to get back on
track.
I really like the table on intelligent food, you will
find this in “Wisdom Three”
valid sources of information.
5.
Make an informed decision and then
own the outcome. There is nothing
worse than regretting a decision or
having a bad experience due to lack of
or incorrect information.
Choose reputable places to get your
information. If this is from the internet
you need to look for consistency and
