“appears to be better than straight up procrastination ”
- only because you’re getting approval and little ego sweets… cos you convince yourself that because you’re so busy, you must be actually getting things done. sometimes it can work, but usually not. to quote timmy ferriss, ask yourself “am i being productive or just active?”

to your question: i don’t think any info is useless… but some might help you more in your present situation. sometimes blind exposure to a whole bunch of things can be the best thing for you. but not all the time. focused, refined learning and immersion is def required – not all the time – but it’s required to get anything done proper. that laser focus yaddamean?! i generally immerse myself in things i’ve decided that i want or want to do and take the vague “throw at wall” approach every now and then to discover new interests and approaches. balance young skywalker. the which is which part is easy – just decide on what you want and laser focus on that and set aside time to do vague things or the “information overload” approach at other times. but keep the distinctions. you can make information overload stuff into focused things but don’t turn focused things into information overload times.

This is an AWESOME post. Exactly what I needed right now!

I’ve been a “shelf help guru ” for a long time now – without much luck. It’s easy to read things and quote things, and you’re right, one needs to take action to make the change.

Still bit behind the times but getting there bro….

Like the angle you took in this post. Got one comment and one question.

While reading this post one word kept popping into my mind procrastination. What you think about the notion that the ‘infomation overload’ you describe as just a convoluted method of procrastination that, just appears to be better than straight up procrastination – instead of actually ‘getting out there’.

Incidently is the best way, me thinks, to assymilate personal development stuff – implementing it straight away in day to day life.

The question is how do you know when you just taking on more potentially useless infomation(defining un-implemented info as potentially useless) verse actually taking on worthy infomation you manage to put into use? and how do you keep track of which is which?

O well actually turned into 3 questions and a comment haha.
Interested to hear you thoughts on this…
