This weekend I’m focusing on information, filtering and meaning overload and useful ways to manage and utilize it. Having said that, there’s so much good information, insights and tips in this post, I have to digest it slowly.   Beth Kanter has written a great post on this subject, sharing the way she’s dealing with it and the 44 people who commented on it have some great things to add to the discussion.   Intro:   This morning I learned a new word for information overload - content fried from a colleague at the Packard Foundation.    It resonated.   I identify with this, here’s what really caught my attention:   “The biggest difficulty I experience is the shifting from this forward flowing process of consuming, curating, and sense-making of content to learn versus to get something done”.   ****The latter requires a different type of attention and whole new set of information coping skills   Howard Rheingold calls this process managing your attention or “Infotention” and it is what he has been teaching in his courses.   I’ve been trying to curate content that offers ideas, tips, and resources to get past that ugly feeling of “content fried.” He curated the above mindmap.   Manage Your Attention, Not Just Your Time:   Don’t just create a to do list, lay it out on daily and weekly schedule, breaking down key tasks of the project to chunks.   ****But consider the level of concentration and focus that each type of task or chunk requires – and schedule accordingly.   My question to you is:   What are your challenges? What ways are you drowning or prospering in this area? I’d love to hear from you.   Curated by Jan Gordon covering “Content Curation, Social Business and Beyond”   Read full article here: [http://bit.ly/z84mSv]

My fellow curator and colleague, Beth Kanter has once again given us a wonderful post full of insights and resources.   ****I also want to point out that what she has done in this article is an excellent example of providing “context” and adding depth to what she’s saying.    In this piece Beth talks about Transdisiplinarity which means literacy in and ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplines which you will notice, she has clearly demonstrated in this post.   Excerpt:   She says, and I agree, “This is definitely not a chicken and egg question” you have to have “socially addictive content and content curation. I agree with her, this is a powerful combination when you blend the two together!   Here’s what you’ll see in this piece:   **checklist on how to create valuable content from Content Marketing Institute   ** 26 Tips of Writing Great Blog Content    **How to Newsjack, which is interesting all by itself   **current events: using this as part of you content strategy.   Curated by Jan Gordon, covering “Content Curation, Social Business and Beyond”   Read full article: [http://bit.ly/ACNJik]
