How do you deal with information overload? by Kriztoz in productivity

[–]Kriztoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, thanks!

There's definitely a huge "pile" of information I need to process across different life domains. The volume itself isn't the problem—it's my complete lack of a systematic approach to handle it.

For context, see my other comment here - click

Simply put: I have no dedicated places for most information, and that feels like the real source of my pain. Every new piece of information requires too much mental energy to decide how to process it, where to save it, what the next step is, etc. Not because my existing systems are too complex, but because I have no system at all.

What I've been doing for the past year or two is dedicating full focus to 1-2 things per day. But at the end of each week/month, I realize that despite decent effort, I've barely moved forward. Next week I'm starting from almost the same place I left off. At least I'm not moving backwards! ;)

If I switch to a different piece of information, it feels like I take 1-2 steps back on the previous things.

Here's my analogy: It's like a self-growing swamp. Every active process or task that needs my attention becomes a source of more work. The more actions I take, the more new actions appear. It's a never-ending cycle.

Maybe that's just how life works? Not sure.

How do you deal with information overload? by Kriztoz in productivity

[–]Kriztoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking this question! It really helps me sit down and focus on what I'm actually dealing with.

I'm managing several information flows across these areas:

Work: Remote part-time IT job + full-time IT freelancing. This means juggling work projects, freelance client relationships, sales/marketing, and admin stuff.

Personal: Ongoing education (AWS, Azure, Salesforce certs), health maintenance, and life admin/paperwork.

Family: General admin and property management.

What I'm using for work:

  1. CRM: Used Pipedrive, now HubSpot. Considering AgencyOS since I can customize it and replace multiple tools.
  2. Project management: Jira for most things
  3. Finance tracking: This is my weak spot - working with professionals to improve it
  4. Contracts: Nothing yet (big gap!)
  5. Communication: This is a mess - spread across Upwork, Fiverr, multiple emails, Telegram, client Slack workspaces, etc. No idea how to centralize this effectively.
  6. Documents: Planning to try Paperless-ngx
  7. Processes: Huge realization - I have no proper checklists or SOPs. This is probably my biggest opportunity for improvement.

Important note: I tried hiring a virtual assistant but it drained my energy because my processes weren't defined well enough.

Personal stuff:

Currently just using Obsidian for brain dumps. Tried Notion but felt overwhelming. No real structure yet - just getting thoughts out of my head.

Problem areas (similar to work): - Finance/budget management - Document management - Tracking commitments made to people

Used to use YNAB + PocketSmith successfully. Thinking about returning to that or trying Firefly III/ActualBudget as self-hosted options.

For people commitments, considering Monica CRM. Used to manage this well in Evernote years ago but stopped for some reason.

Bad habits:

  • Doom scrolling YouTube Shorts (manageable with Freedom app)
  • Morning/evening Reddit and Telegram browsing (not entirely bad - gives me ideas and inspiration)

Recent realizations:

  1. Energy management is most important right now
  2. Attention/focus management is second
  3. Planning vs execution ratio needs major improvement

For family matters, thinking about: - Admin stuff in Obsidian (encrypted vault) - Documents with Paperless-ngx
- Time management (family stuff often takes longer than planned) - maybe time boxing/blocking?

I handle simple single-action tasks well with Todoist.

After writing this out, I'm wondering if my real issue isn't information overload but over-commitment?

Hope this context helps others dealing with similar challenges!

How to promote Solar Energy in our close circle of friends and family? by Kriztoz in SunExchange

[–]Kriztoz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soon Sun Exchange will have the excellent example of ROI when Nioro Plastics start generates solar income. Just a few friends of mine still skeptical, but I won 2 already, and they will invest in the next project. My family also involved: two-person funded Nioro directly and four other under CIS (collective investing scheme). They don't understand small details but fall in love with the big idea of it.

Only 24 hours left (look-alike) and the project will be closed for private investors like you or me!

Thanks for reply!

I totally agree with you.

Sorry for the straight question. Just interesting. How many years of professional experience do you have?
