Exercise in Draining
I am training
to squeeze (absorb?)
information
from where it
is plenty
or scarce.
Sometimes it
will build up
so that I
almost burst
and I would
for certain
if you caught
me off guard.
So I get
information,
I hold it,
and then learn
to drain it
properly.
What do you do when it feels like there’s too much information coming at you?
Brooke, I can definitely see where this is coming from, given the fact that you are training professionally to deal with information in an orderly way. 🙂
I have to impose limits on information, or else I’ll become overwhelmed and lose the ability to manage my time. Which is why I seldom visit other blogs other than Exponent.
Duck.
But I know I’ve become an info-junky, and I don’t mind it so much. I love learning, knowing, sensing, staying connected.
Especially when the info experience is also beau*tiful. (Hello, iPad. Don’t you want to be my friend?)
But often I run/walk without music, because the sounds of birds are also intoxicating.
Focus. Since becoming a mom, I’ve had this foggy brain. I can’t multi-task or carry on a coversation anymore.
Brooke, I like your last word “properly.” I don’t think my exercise in draining is ever done properly.
