In conjunction with the observance of Information Overload Awareness Day, the Information Overload Research Group issued a Lower the Overload challenge to knowledge workers everywhere.
Starting October 20th, send 20% fewer e-mail messages!
To accomplish this, knowledge workers should:
1) Send only those Emails, IMs, and texts that have to be sent. This includes replies.
2) Only use reply-to-all when absolutely necessary.
3) Cut back on the number of recipients in the “to” and “cc” fields.
4) Resist the urge to forward Email messages if not critical.
We look forward to you joining us for this event, and please forward this to any of your peers that may be interested in participating!
