Overwhelm vs. Overload
- People face overwhelming opportunities and commitments, not information overload.
- True overload comes from potential meaning within information, not information itself.
Control and Focus
- Regain control by capturing out-of-control items and clarifying commitments.
- Focus by clarifying six levels of commitments: purpose, vision, goals, responsibilities, projects, and actions.
Capture Everything
- Capture everything that's not on "cruise control."
- Writing things down (distributed cognition) creates a sense of control and focus.
