Just wanted to check in here as I haven’t posted in a few weeks … things have been heating up at work, and I’ve been devoting very many brain cells to the cause over there. So apologies. And a little quote to sum up the information overload I’m experiencing these days:

“…in an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” — Herbert Simon

When I get my bearings back I want flesh this out this post some more. Specifically, I want to better understand why I haven’t been able to read a book from start to finish in over six years. Time for some mental housekeeping.
