Recently I installed a couple of utilities (add-ons for Firefox) to help me keep up with the various Blogs, Newsfeeds, and Twitter accounts. Brief for the feeds and Echofon for Twitter and I have to say they are great at organising everything and preventing information overload.
But there is a problem, because the information is being presented to me in an organised, readable format and most importantly on a regular basis, I find myself being distracted by really interesting snippets of information and not concentrating on the task at hand. As a result I have had to dramatically reduce the number of times these utilities update each day.
Now don’t get me wrong keeping up-to-date with what’s going on in your business sector is really important, but you have to achieve the right balance.
