My secret to Dealing with a lot of information at once

 I ensure that I do not suffer from information overload by careful planning. I set out what I want to do with the help of technology enabled calendars, diary and  mind-maps.Anything that is not scheduled and urgent is not dealt with immediately. Information coming-in is filtered and categorized by marking as: 'priority-to-do-later', 'urgent-to-do-now', ' or not-necessary-file away or delete'.

I organise and rank data sources and treat them accordingly. Files are organised in easy to follow structures. Sometimes it requires passing to and delegating someone to attend to the issue and asking them to give me feedback. 

Taking a break for a while from computer screens, noisy TVs, phone calls and papers, sometimes keeps me fresh and focused. In the urgent-to-do-now the correct response, if it is a chaotic situation, it means I have to 'act-sense-and-respond'.

Entailing assessing the situation, analysing what is known with the help of experts, if necessary and respond.
