I really struggle with this. It’s physically impossible to stay up-to-date on everything. There are lots of blogs that I would love to be able to keep up with on a daily basis, but I just don’t have the time. We are on informational overload as a society. If you’ve read the 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss you know that he mentions this. We waste so much time checking email, watching tv, reading random stupid stuff on the internet… and then we wonder where all the time went.
We don’t have to know everything… We need to stop trying to absorb it all and enjoy the time we have on earth. There’s so much more to life. We need to remember the important things and stop wasting time on Facebook and Myspace when we could be with family, friends, and improving our bodies and minds in other more productive ways.
