Information Junkie
Are most of humanity is an information junkie now?
Information Junkie is a person who reads, collects, watches a lot of information. Which can sometimes be useful or random.
Is consuming the vast amount of information is correct?
Does consumed information has any effect on over psyche?
But now people are consuming a lot of information through social media giants algorithms that also affect their subconscious.
Consuming a large amount of information has its positives and negatives for different people. Suppose somebody is intellectually curious. That person has to read wide to please his intellectual curiosity.
“Is humanity is going in the right direction?”
The point is to be careful in choosing the information you want to consume. Only choose those sources which bring you the most value for the long-term.
According to various researchers consumed information has an effect on our psyche. So, don’t expose yourself to the information you don’t need. Because they will get rooted in your psyche and will manifest subconscious.
The most common problem with information junkie is they spend most of their time in collection mode.
“Start developing a bias toward action with the information you read.”
Providing value is something which people don’t figure out themselves. You offer that through your services or product. To offer that you need to have specific knowledge. For specific knowledge, you have to go through a lot of information sources.
"You can solve the problem of being an information junkie. By making conversion into information expert."
What makes the difference? Experts know how to get and use the information they have access to and own. By using their own developed methods by using ranking, urgency, prioritization.
You can also use the deadline approaches. When you buy a product, set specific deadlines to read it, implementing what you learn. For instance, set a goal of taking action after receiving the information source. Don’t buy another product/information source until you have made some progress with the one you before purchased.
So, I suggest you read widely but don’t be an information junkie.
