Dealing with information overload can be a huge stressor in life. Not only trying to keep up with the constant deluge of information that comes at you daily, but also managing that information in an organized way — so that you can find and implement it — can put your sanity in question. In this podcast, I talk with Ricardo Amigo, a translator in Costa Rica, about different ways to manage information overload. We cover a few of the following topics:

• Personal information management
• Keeping found things found
• Organizing by clips
• Organizing by wikis
• Other tools to deal with information overload
• Finding time to get things done
• Podcasts as a tool for keeping up
• Email jail
• Leadership in information overload
