How much information is too much?

I keep repeating the same pattern with the same results… I attempt to horde as much information as I can, like a kid in a candy store, until I can’t consume any of it!
For example, I setup iGoogle with all sorts of nifty gadgets and feeds… then I added more… and more… and then more… and now I don’t even use it! I did this with Google Reader as well, and don’t open it anymore. I also subscribed to various email distribution lists and groups on Linkedin, and now I never read any of them.
A little information is better than a lot because “a lot” is equivalent to none.

Sadly it’s true. There is a megaload of useful, engaging stuff out there. One has to dedicate time to the last art of doing, and have the discipline to budget time spent exploring. Balance, friends.
