Are you a victim of infobesity?

Infobesity, or “information overload”, is a term used to describe the overflow of mail and digital information (nothing to do with your Easter binge, mind you!).
Since the advent of digital mail, our professional use of it has grown steadily, often resulting in information overload and additional stress.
Companies have begun to take stock of this problem, and have introduced a number of restrictions, such as disconnecting executives outside working hours, or prohibiting the transmission of information by e-mail at weekends.
A website dedicated to calculating individual infobesity can even be used to assess information overload, and offers a few tips on how to better manage internal and external communication.

There are many risks and problems linked directly or indirectly to information overload.
They include

• loss of productivity, estimated at 28% of working time;
• wasted time: 56% of professionals spend an average of 2 hours a day dealing with e-mails;
• but also the stress, dependency and sense of urgency associated with checking the mailbox.

Professional information must be processed objectively and rationally.
The first step is to critically analyze this information and prioritize it according to its importance or priority.
Digital e-mail, like paper mail, needs to be processed methodically.
This is why it’s possible to categorize your mailbox in the same way as you categorize your mail.
Tools such as professional instant messaging are also an excellent way of streamlining information.
