Do You Feel Like You Get So Much Info You Have No Idea What You Know?

Hi Kathy, there are too much news, I just focus on up to date news that will affect my businesses, so that I can use it to help buyers and sellers.

Sometimes it's all too much!  I mostly stay away from the TV news, since the reporting is so skewed and there is too much negativity.  I haven't figured out the tweet thing or spent much time on linkedin yet. 

I have to tell you that I am so grateful for my facebook friends that post the local weather on facebook (SNOOOWWWW, It's raining out there, etc.), just in case I can't find a window to see for myself!

Oh, Kathy -- there definitely seems to be information overload and it's often conflicting.    

Kathy. OVERLOAD for me. The more i do the more I know that i need to learn. Some days I think I will spontaneously combust!! Information overload is an understatement!!

Kathy - wow, do I get it! So many facts, stories, news, gossip and junk news, who can remember half of it? I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can't keep all this "stuff" lock in my memory - much of it goes in and out unless it's truly important!

When we get over whelmed we just tune out and off. 

Hi Kathy, some days we do not turn the TV on....we actually take a rest :)

Kathy,

Some of us do not turn on news on TV, do not get a paper, etc.  We just have a WSJ feed and other feeds regarding our field and the subject of luxury.  It is not necessarily a "senior" moment, it is sensory overload..LOL A

For some of us, senior moments may be very common.  All of us are flooded with information and much of what we see and hear quickly becomes uninteresting past history.

I am at almost any moment of the day in a total fog.  My kids will sometimes be talking about some actor and I'll say who's that.  They are horrified at how not on top of things I am.

Gosh Kathy, I thought I might be the only one who is on information overload.  I think I liked it when it was simple.  Now I just feel bombarded!

I agree Kathy,

 I hear info in the office, on the news, internet, social media sites, blogging sites and blurbs on TV too but I try to tune it out as I have more important things to deal with so when someone starts talking about it, I think to myself "Oh Yes" but couldn't for sure remember where I heard it.

i hear you Kathy.  It is insane the amount of information sources we encounter daily anymore.

Morning Kathy we are so bombarded by different takes on the same subject it is all in how the news is presented and who is presenting it.  In my neck of the woods (Republican) we get the same news just a different take and the same thing for the (Democrats).

Hi Kathy.  I feel your pain.  I have a TV in every room so I can listen to the news.

Kathy-I am quite the opposite. I don't watch the news or read the paper. Somehow if it is bad enough I still find out about it. Our brains can only absorb just so much before we go a little cuckoo

 I schedule time to read specific resources. Lucky for me I can read fairly quickly and have learned how to save relevant articles. We must be vigilant on what we decide to read and save for reading later.

It is definitely the new strategy by many who want to confuse us not inform us.  Too much and all of a sudden finding the truth no less daunting than the proverbial 'needle in a haystack'.  m
