Informed but not Overwhelmed
How can you stayed informed without being overwhelmed?
* Choose to acquire knowledge that supports or interests you, not what you simply happen to ingest, or think you have to ingest.
* Look for broad-based patterns and trends, as opposed to quickly disappearing fads and forgettable trivia.
* Learn to delegate some of your reading to your most junior staff. After only 15 minutes of instruction and armed with a list of key words, they will be able to rather easily identify articles of interest to you.
* Prune your files regularly and ruthlessly. Constantly throw out what does not support you.
