Conquer CyberLoad - Get Control Of Your Digital Life

Declutter Your Digital Domain | Your Mind on Media. I have been meaning to write a review of Dr. Joanne Cantor's new book, Conquer Cyberload, for some time. However, I have been procrastinating, since I have been so busy with all of my tech. My addiction to tech has made it impossible to read her book, and to focus on writing a review of it. Not. Actually, this little book has a lot of great ideas and techniques for getting control of your tech addiction. As I recently posted, this can be as simple as finding the "off" switch on the device. Dr. Cantor is a proponent of "balance"; that is, understanding that multitasking is impossible for the human brain. We can have a lot of tasks going on at the same time; but, we can only focus on one at a time. It is actually a time drain and time waster to be switching back and forth rapidly between tasks. Of course, the trick is to find that balance between single minded focus on one thing for too long a time, and the ability to pull away and enjoy some of the simple pleasures. Used properly, tech and gadgets can give us more time to enjoy those simple things. Manage your focus. Get control of your time. Take a break. Get your email under control. Get physical exercise. Good book. Short read. Futurelawyer recommended.
