Infobesity - How to Cope with the Overload of Information
summary
Claims that information overload maps to measurable behaviors and can be reduced with concrete methods: 241 million emails sent per minute, 79 zettabytes produced in 2021, and ~35,000 daily decisions set the scale. Shows tools and numbers used: Pocket, Email Meter, Google Digital Wellbeing, EEG studies that recommend 5–10 minute breaks between meetings, and the 23-minute cost to refocus. Presents an information diet using impact-effort matrices, MCOW prioritization, 350 smart email filters and WhatsApp Business labels; applied methods shrink a 15,000-email inbox to a manageable system and produce a short digital-scale quiz.
