Ask HN: How do you keep up with a firehouse of information?
2 by KennyFromIT | 0 comments on Hacker News.
How do you manage (e.g. triage, review, store, act upon, learn) the never ending flow of valuable information at your company (i.e. an overwhelming flow of information you wanted to learn)? Simple solutions haven't worked well enough for me. Bookmarks aren't enough to spur action (and besides, not everything is a link). Todo lists become overwhelming because the list grows too long to be effective. It becomes especially hard to organize and act upon in a timely manner when you are faced with multiple sources that appear to all have equally high signal to noise ratios (email, chat, face to face conversations, ideas, research links, etc.). I know many people have or will never experience this "problem", but for those who have, how did you keep up?
