Thanks for the article. Have a great vacation!

Yes, I have suffered from information overload. Probably the worst was from about 18 months ago, when I got too stressed from work and too much travel for work. Then I got dermatitis, I think mostly from lack of sleep, too much caffeine and a little too much alcohol.

I found that relaxing helped greatly with my recovery, as I noted in my Steemit post about How I got dermatitis, and recovered!. This meant reducing my time at work and my exposure to information, especially stress-inducing 'news', most of which is carefully crafted to get an emotional rise out of us. I never watch mainstream 'news' media anymore. It's just propaganda and other neuro-linguistic programming designed to keep the masses focused on certain topics to mould opinions.

Even in science, my profession, it's now absolutely necessary to filter information. There's just no way to read every relevant article in my field, and reading the low quality papers would just be 'information contamination'.
