Does this scene look familiar to you? (That is, inside your head)
This occurs whenever your mind has received too much information to perform at its best ability.
Step one: Identify your activities. What takes up time and energy while you’re online?
School Assignments • Research • Email • Work obligations • Personal responsibilities • Social Networks • More email • Projects
Step Two: Step back. Relax, already!
If you want to perform at your best, you must learn to focus.
Step Three: Prioritize your time.
DON’T overwork yourself.
Make sure you do at least onething outside of the work or school environment you enjoy each day.
Step Four: Cultivate realistic expectations. The Internet is a big place, and no search is perfect!
Step Five: Focus on quality over quantity.
The more you try to do too many things at once, the more your end results will suffer.
Step Six: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnect!
Sometimes, the best way to clear your head is to take a walk.
I hope you do feel better about tackling the information you encounter.
