Jason W. Womack wrote this article for all of us, who struggle with information overload. I selected it because.......
To be a good content curator, the first step is knowing how to harness your attention, to be able to filter, focus, and find the best and be able to leave the rest
**It's important to keep refining your daily habits and the author has some great suggestions on how to do that.
Excerpt:
Jason Womack warns "in the age of information overload, when it comes to what we have time to focus on, we are often forced to sacrifice quality for quantity.
Here's what caught my attention:
**Stop multi-tasking When you multi-task, you can't give your undivided attention the the things you're working on.
**Set a timer for 15-minute intervals Womack says that our days are actually made up of about 100 15-minute intervals. In fact 15 minutes is just about the right "chunk" of time for us to be able to stay focused, minimize interruptions and work effectively
**Know when you're not focused and implement ways to refocus When you're working with your timer, write down eah instance when you lose focus-even if it's just to look at a clock to see what time it is.
**Carry a camera with you Carrying a camera with you is actually a great way to become more in tune with your environment.
**I do this one and it really helps bring me into the present moment
**Listen more There are three different learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Everyone in your network falls into one of these categories.
**(very important tip, when you're not talking and focusing your attention here, it's an amazing experience on so many levels)

I could hug Jon Stewart for having this amazing conversation with NJ Governor Chris Christie. This is an amazing interview all the way through, but here is my favorite line:
If you have cancer and you don't have health insurance then it is hurricane Sandy (in your life).
Jon goes on to make the point that politicians’ empathy increases when they are personally impacted. I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy, but until you (Republicans) have walked a mile in my shoes then you can't understand. Problem is if you are a politician, you MUST have empathy since we live in a REPRESENTATIVE democracy.
