Alter Your Information Diet

I just came across a blog with all sorts of useful information called the Positivity Blog by Henrik Edberg. I like the way that most of the articles are along the the lines of lists of practical tips, usually with the number of items in the list included in the title. An example is this article that I first came across linked from Merlin Mann's 43 Folders site: 5 Compelling Reasons to Adjust Your Information Diet. It is worth linking to here as one of the themes I am coming across frequently in my work with individuals and families is that information clamors for our attention 24/7. The amount of it available is vast, but only certain bits of it are worth our time to sift out, much like panning for gold. One television show flows into another, and each web page links to several others, so it is easy to just keep following the information on rabbit trails that may or may not lead anywhere. With that in mind, check out the links.
