I’m not nearly as productive as I’d like to be, and it’s because I’m constantly overwhelmed by information.
I have an email sitting in my inbox, unanswered, because I first saw it a few hours ago when I was busy - I’ll probably never respond. I have work that I really should be doing, but here I am reading more news. When I am actually doing work, I waste so much time looking for things. I end up walking into meetings less prepared than I should be because I don’t have the context I need. Between conversations I’ve had, and all the places I store stuff, I lose minutes everyday looking for stuff, rather than actually working.
Is it just me? Do you feel similarly? Could you write a quick paragraph on what a recent day looked like for you, and when you felt most overwhelmed?
