This is a quick post regarding information overload. I believe that there are many people out there suffering from excess dose of information, or at least this is what they thing is the problem of their sleep deprivation, continues stress and general unhappiness.
The truth is that there is no such thing as Information Overload. In fact, we love information and we can consume as much of it as we want. We cannot get overloaded unless we consume the same type of information, i.e. when there is no information diversity.
For example, if you read 50 newspapers everyday, it is very likely that you will get overloaded, simply because the same type information is dumped into your brain. However, if we visit the local park, we get relaxed although the amount of information we receive is significantly more. The difference is that the information received from 50 newspapers is of the same kind while the information that we receive from a nature is very diversified.
Therefore, your problem is not the overload of information but the lack of information diversity.
