<h2 class="post-headline">How to avoid the information overload?</h2>
|
|
<h1>🌟</h1>
|
|
<p>I do have a problem with information.</p>
|
|
<p>You know. I <strong>have</strong> to check my emails, irc, twitter, my feed reader
|
|
etc. I need to.</p>
|
|
<p>And this thing makes me feel uncomfortable at the end of the day,
|
|
because I feel that I missed something. That I missed some good time,
|
|
away from news and agitation.</p>
|
|
<p>Working remotely is sometimes hard. Hard because you need to at the same
|
|
time be in the discussions channels and work on the interesting
|
|
projects. A real myth.</p>
|
|
<p>In practice, I'm really bad at multi-tasking. I tried a few times the
|
|
<em>Pomodoro</em> technique, which forces me to focus on a task for 25mn, but
|
|
this split of my day into slices of 25mn breaks my natural flow.</p>
|
|
<p>So, what do I need? I tried to change my tools, it helped a bit. Still,
|
|
I'm not focused like I would like to be.</p>
|
|
<p>Maybe that's just me who needs some more persuasion over myself, but the
|
|
best way I found to work is to unplug the cable. Literally. At work, at
|
|
some point I was using a RJ45 cable to connect to the Internet. When I
|
|
wanted to work on something, I could just unplug this cable.</p>
|
|
<p>And that's amazing how you find yourself in the process to "check"
|
|
something on the web. Mails, irc… well, you got the idea. You're
|
|
litterally, without even noticing, switching to your browser an opening
|
|
a new tab…</p>
|
|
<p>Of course, that Web isn't filled only with lolcats and twitter messages
|
|
(even if I would <strong>love</strong> to see a pie chart with the repartition of
|
|
lolcats VS the rest of the web's content), so sometimes you need some
|
|
precious bit of information that's there. Fair enough. plug the cable,
|
|
do what you <strong>need</strong> to do, and unplug. Alexis, unplug!</p>
|
|
<p>It also helps to have some fair bit of documentation available directly
|
|
on my machine (I used to have the python docs, I should get it back!)</p>
|
|
<p>I'm feeling adventurous, so I'll try something new starting tomorrow,
|
|
and I'll report back in here my findings. Here's the challenge:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Check emails only once a day</strong>. Do <strong>not</strong> do it in the morning,
|
|
before working, to keep my mind clear. I would say at 2pm (after
|
|
lunch). (This doesn't mean I will not send mails tho)</li>
|
|
<li>Stay away from the Internet during the morning. I'll not connect if
|
|
I don't need to.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Let's see how it goes :)</p>
