Technology for smarter ignoring
Merlin Mann | Oct 3 2007
Cory Doctorow has a short piece in Internet Evolution called "The Future of Ignoring Things" that really resonated with me. Excerpt:
Figuring out what you can afford to ignore in life is starting to seem like an art form to me. Since failure to filter incoming stuff properly over time has consequences way beyond annoyance, I'm starting to think that getting it right may be another one of those emerging knowledge worker skills. It's definitely one I'm working on (and struggling with). [via: BB] 4 Comments
