Overwhelmed

Source

I love the internet and how it puts so much information at my fingertips.  As a child, my dream life would have been to live in the library - and now the library actually is in my home!  However, as of late, I've felt overwhelmed by all the information.  There is so much I try to keep up with - email, facebook, blogs, google reader, pinterest, news sites, forums, etc. - and I find myself falling behind.  But I feel that if I do not keep up with the "latest," I end up an ill informed person.

Today I finally got around to looking at my google reader for the first time in about a week and I had over 600 unread blog posts!  Our internet provider is not helping as sometimes we loose our connection multiple times in an hour, so even when I do sit down to comb through information, it takes far longer than it should!   How on earth can I ever catch up?  I've got to make some serious decisions about keeping up with what is important to me and discarding the superfluous.  Not easy in this information age.
