**** The most displease Twitter-thing is the TIME to BENEFIT ratio seems off since MUCH WORK benefits little, so looking for a new approach. Marty

Have you become desensitized and disillusioned with Twitter?

Do you feel like you are suffering from Twitter Tiredness?

Do you feel like you are “tweeting in the dark”, spending more and more time on Twitter but getting less and less out of it?

I know the story. A few months (or years) ago, you signed up for a Twitter account. You dutifully wrote a clever bio, uploaded your picture and started tweeting. Maybe you followed some accounts and learned a bit about the culture and etiquette of the network before sending your first tweet.

After following a few people and building a following of your own, you started following more and more and retweeting more and more, all while spending less and less time engaging in conversations and writing original tweets.

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)
