In 1990, David Lewis introduced the concept of Information Fatigue Syndrome. He translated this phenomenon of information overload closer to the impact on human health. He described it as: - a decrease in analytical skills
- constant craving to search for new information (suddenly something new has appeared)
- anxiety and insomnia (what happened during the day is constantly scrolling in my head. Constant thoughts that during the night everything can change and again pulls to search for new information)
- a decrease in the ability to make decisions (too much conflicting data coming in at a fast enough pace, i.e. there is no way to think it over)
David Roof expanded and clarified the list of symptoms in 2000:
- poor concentration
- unproductive multitasking (grabs onto different things, but does not complete it to the end, cannot organize)
-Hurry sickness feeling of sickness from knowing how much needs to be done and that you have absolutely no time to do it
- hostility and irritability (people interfere with work, at the same time, you want everyone to respond to requests and requests on time, any delay causes irritation and anger)
-plug in - compulsion (obsessive desire to be connected) constantly checking e-mail, instant messengers, updates on sites. A constant desire to be in touch with someone or something.
- stress symptoms (palpitations, increased or unstable pressure, stomach pains, etc.)
Since the brain is clearly "overheating" from an excess of information, it simply begins to "fool" at a certain stage. Namely, coming up with different strategies to avoid overwork - for example, inventing all sorts of self-sabotaging programs.
In addition to just an excess of information, there may be other problems that can cause information fatigue syndrome:
- information is unclear and unclear. There are many distractions and details.
- Semantic violations. Information can be presented in such a way that some words can have a different meaning.
- poor retention of information. The information has many technical nuances and characteristics that cannot be immediately estimated from a raid and are quickly forgotten.
- poor planning. Information that is not processed on time, and the lack of a plan for working with it can create overload. When you procrastinate for a while, and then, overnight, decide to do everything in one sitting. This can work during a session, but when it happens regularly it is more likely to get in trouble.
- distrust of the source. Trust in the perception of information is a big deal. If the information is considered unreliable, if at least there is a question about its reliability, then this can greatly complicate the inclusion of this piece in the overall picture.
So, the first thing if you feel overwhelmed with information is planning and organization. Including the organization of their own work.
Here are some simple, affordable ways to prevent chronic fatigue.
