Cost of Information Overload

Hi Mike, I believe that the stated figure of USD 650 billion is still too low:

Info Overload Fix

Collaboration is the key. Why not solve a global problem with the group genius that comes from everybody adding their own two cents worth of fix. Only $649,999,999,999.98 to go. Doug

I'm such a pathetic small time would-be marketer I probably shouldn't be writing at all, but I have to agree with every word above. You know it's getting bad when you spend up to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week in front of your PC and then realise that you've really done nothing at all. Read and deleted 2000 + emails trying to sell you a $197 course on how to focus. Visited countless web pages offering software that will have you on your own yacht and married to an Angelina Jolie look-alike by Thursday or just so rich you live on the beach at St.Kitts. The sum total of your week's work is to write a couple of mediocre sales pages and list a couple of mediocre e-Books onto your website that makes $4 a month in sales. Needless to say, information overload is my main problem. It is now nearly 2am. I've been here since 6am and, honestly, don't think I've actually achieved anything except a splitting headache. Pity there's nothing that can be done about it. Grumpy
