Information Overload

I think I am now having information overload. There is too much information on my head and I don’t know how to digest all of them. Just to give you an overview, I read 5,056 RSS items in the last 30 days (according to Google Reader). Besides that, I always watch Business News Network and CNBC for about two hours every night.
According to Wikipedia:
As people are faced with growing levels of information overload, the inability to make clear and accurate decisions can increase their stress levels.
That’s exactly what has been happening to me these days. My stress level is quite high these days. Worse I couldn’t make good decisions.
What should I do now? I think I need a break…. Vacation would be great. Unfortunately, I am still on a probation period, so vacation is not an option. May be, I’ll just stop reading my RSS and stop watching news for a couple of weeks. Hope this will help….
Let’s see.
