Confessions Of An Information Addict
Yes the truth is out…. I’m an “Information Addict”. Yes I surf the net for all kinds of subjects. I tangent off on to uncharted realms. I look up words I question the meaning of which can lead me farther away from my intend query.
Even more, I subscribe to all kinds of email list, just to get the Freebie (who doesn’t?). Most of the time I’ll read the first page or two if I even get that far. While my intentions are well meaning probably 99% of the time I never even open, unzip or remember why I nabbed the dam thing in the first place. Although I do have a Download Folder full of the stuff I got for free.
Like the old saying goes…. So Many Things – So Little Time it applies to my life as an information addict. The downside of all of this is that I keep forgetting to un-subscribe to all those sites. My email box fills with relentless auto-responder mail in a vain attempt to sell me whatever….
Some morning I just spend time unsubscribing to all that junk. I figure that if I didn’t open it I really need to unsubscribe. However there are a few subscriptions that I hang on to. I skin the subject line for what catches my eye and then do a quick scan of the mail.
Well I know that I’m not alone out there… there are other who are caught up in the same never ending quest for more information. The question is for myself and possibly many of you is …. How Much Is Enough?
Last week I found a book that seems to describe this hunger for information and how to manage it. I found it while browsing Amazon and it is:
