For the past couple of weeks we have been discussing the onslaught of information streams we each receive in hopes of maintaining our level of expertise in our industry.
If you have already made the decision to lighten your information load, congratulations! However, because the information might still be useful, you must find an alternative source to obtain it.
This can be easily accomplished simply by looking around you. Who else do you know who is maintaining their level of expertise in a related field?
Talk to these people. . . . you have just replaced your information load with a single person’s name, a source you can always return to when necessary!
Next time…maintaining your external information is important, too.
Until then,
Happy organizing!
