    I think I'm feeling overwhelmed with information these days. Like... it could be making me a little delirious. Coupled with all the things I "need" to learn, or maybe feel like I need to learn.

    Anyone ever feel this way?
    How do you tackle the stress?

    • I bought a Kindle so I can limit distractions when I want to read. I realized iBooks just doesn't work (unfortunately at least $80-$100 late, in purchases)mg33
    • I bounce between news, Facebook, other apps, all the time when I'm using my phone. The kindle is nice - just books.mg33
    • I have also noticed I'm using Feedly far less than I used to. I used to obsess over local crime info / news, but slowly faded out of that. It's just too much.mg33
    • same here mg33. used to be really into news. i switched my attention to tech news but like anything too much is not a good thing. also coming out of a verybklyndroobeki

    • so mg33 you just read more-- what are you reading?bklyndroobeki
    • Yeah, I need to read more so I made it a goal. Reading 4 books on it right now: Street Photography, by Erik Kim...mg33
    • Making Music, Creative Strategies for electronic music producers, Design For Real Life (A Book Apart)mg33
    • And a book called Deeper, by Jeff Long, which is a sequel to a fantastic book called The Descent.mg33
    • I read a lot of non-fiction, i'll switch it up. A kindle would be good for me, nice suggestion + Deeper, eh? Now on my list. Will report back.bklyndroobeki
    • I can't praise The Descent enough. That movie of the same name was loosely based on it. I absolutely loved the book.mg33
    • It's based on the premise that, if there's an actual God, there must be an actual Satan living in the core of the earth. Sounds crazy, but it was excellent.mg33
    • So, check out The Descent first.mg33
    • mg33 is that fiction? scifi?bklyndroobeki
    • The Descent is fiction. Slightly sci-fi.mg33
