How did you deal with Information Overload?

?

Information overload only happens when you aren't taking action.

I normally take notes and rewrite them into actionable points from self-help books so that they are immediately applicable to my business process. The key point is application. If I can't apply it, it's worthless to me at that point of time.

I dedicate a small portion of my day to reading and posting on threads on here and the rest of my work day consists of taking action. I try to limit myself to only reading threads that are on topics that are of interest to my business.

When I first started out, I did the exact opposite. I spent a lot of time reading and very little time taking action and suffered from a bad case of information overload. I ended up leaving the forum for a while to learn the ropes on my own and just recently came back now that I'm making a full time income.

Study one method then test it out. Make it work and don't
read anymore methods until you get it right

Always check out other successful blogs and implement
their techniques

Stop reading too much information and start taking action

Always remember: traffic + conversion = sales

- One day at a time!

- Stop overanalyzing and just start, research what you need ON THE GO.


- Drop payed programs and WSO (dont even read).


- Get a night of sleep after reading too much


- Make a LOT of bookmarks and organize them properly.

just pick one thing and stick to it

First of all, stick to one project at a time. Read a little bit, then implement it. Read a little bit more, and implement that. I try to break my projects up into smaller tasks and work on that one task until it's finished. If I still feel like doing more work then I move on the next little task, and if not then I take a break. Keep this up until the project is completed.

If I'm learning something new, I don't even get through an entire chapter or video lecture before I start implementing what I'm learning.

Keep focused. What are YOU good at/passionate about? Who, specifically, can benefit from your expertise? What's the best way to reach them? What do they need to see/hear from you in order to trust you?

The vast majority of the "shiny objects" out there that cause information overload usually involve cutting corners. As long as you remember that there's no push button solution that can replace hard, focused work, you should be fine

I unload it.

Remove yourself from all unnecessary email lists. They will only tempt you to buy more things you don't need.

Pick the business model you want to build and focus only on that.

Do not buy anything else unless it serves to move you further towards that one goal.

My way :
Just pick up the method or area that interests you.
Design the daily goals to be completed (it contains anything from reading or taking action )
Treat this daily goal as your final goal (stay away from the forum while doing this especially for newbies like me because they are easily can be distracted).
And most important do not sit continuously on PC (take a break after an hour or half an hour)
Repeat with breaking down your final goal into smaller modules and work on them instead of doing all the work at once .
This will take time but will give a good result at the end.

Take appropriate sleep .I have read that some people are working for 20 hours 7 days .
I believe this is important but our health is most important .Everyone is doing this to live a better lifestyle but what is the use of all this if you are earning much more but could not enjoy the lifestyle ?(well this is my view though)

Well my friend the simplest way to deal with info overload is to take one thing at a time. You complete one process to see how it goes then you go on to the next. So on and so forth.

Take a break from all of it. walk away from everything for a few days, then when you return go with what sticks in your mind. Its easy to join the war room and see all the WSO's there and you read about 50 a day and its like you are being pulled in 50 different directions in which way to go with your business because when you read a WSO, if it is good, you think "yeah, that's what I want to do" until you get to the next one.

Got coaching, forgot everything I thought I knew...

And focused only on what they told me.

Putting a lot of skin in the game helped, as well

The best way (and maybe the only way) is to focus.

Hi,

1. Pick a proven system.

2. Work at it until your get results.

3. Scale up or re-invest into something that can allow you to GROW and
build a real business around.

Don't get sidetracked, allow negative views and GURU'S to convince you
that their NEW SHINY PRODUCT is the FAST TICKET to online riches.

Stick with it.

WORK towards your own GOALS.

Having a TARGET that you can hit allows you to stay focused and avoid
falling into the trap of jumping from idea to the next.

i am still dealing with it. i am telling you right now.....concentrate on one thing. dump everything else that requires alot of your time.
example: i just dumped niche sites, writting etc and i am sticking with email marketing and sales funnel and i wish i did this many years ago.

Take yourself off from all the lists that you are on.

This will only distract you in the future.

Then find a good program that you really like and like its commission structure. Forget about FREE ads and only focus on paid ads. Test everything and when you do find good places that get you results, then scale it up.

The only truth is... do not quit for first 2, 3 months... after that the "view will be clearer".
3 months might look like too much, but what do You expect when You want to learn new business...
And of course take advice to take action as much as possible!

Pick one thing and stick with it until it is either making you consistent money or you know for certain it is not work for you.

And keep taking action.

Now, this does not mean you should stop learning. Far from it. There will always be new things out there you can integrate into what you are currently doing to improve your results.

You have to actually try out some things until you find something that works. Action and persistence are the key.

Stop reading and start doing. That's what separates the winners from the losers. The winners do, the losers don't.
