How are you handling all the info that the net has thrown at us? Do  you just ignore it? Or have you found the perfect way for FILTERING the CRUCIAL, and ignoring everything else?

I’ve got RSS feeds I haven’t looked at in months.

I’ve got emails streaming in about work!

I’ve got friends and contacts mailing, blackberrying, and sms’ing to say hi!

Then there are then daily and weekly newsletters (most of which i’ve now unsubscribed to).

I want to keep updated with news, and besides catching sky or CNN in the morning, I try check a few local and international news and finance sites in the morning.

There’s Twitter! (You’ve probably noticed I’ve cut down my twitter usage considerably)

And there’s Facebook (You’ve probably noticed I’ve also cut down my facebook usage considerably)

I try go onto our company sites on a regular basis (springleap etc)

And I want to keep up with industry news (whether TechCrunch, Crowdsourcing news, internet marketing news, or local bloggers)

And the guys at my office send me updates of whatever they think is IMPORTANT information for me to know - and usually after reading or watching their links, I agree that it’s essential info to have taken in!

BUT…

It just seems TOO MUCH! To keep updated in the modern world seems IMPOSSIBLE!!

How do you do it?
