Searching for news and procrastination by: Anonymous
Hi Jackie,
Since the advent of computers and the digital age, one of the problems is that we are going through an information explosion. Just to give you an idea, a recent report published 3 weeks ago shows that people spend more than 2 hours a day reading and responding to emails.
One way of controlling the information explosion is to use the technology to more properly gather the information for you.
Now your partner uses the Internet to gather information on a particular news topic. One way to make this gathering of information more efficient is to use Google News Alerts. At Google News Alerts you can specify the search criteria, and each day/week/or as it happens, Google will send the news to your partner's inbox.
For example, I am in the game of Time Management. So I could quite easily type "Time Management" into the Google News Alerts and I will get every article published across 4500 newspapers on this topic.
This should also help to minimize the time that your partner procrastinates or surfs on off subject topics.
I hope that this helps you Jackie.
All the best
Kell
