365QOD- Day968

One Article per Magazine

"Too much data. I am overwhelmed."-my conclusion

This morning I ran an experiment.  I have several magazines as shortcut on my desktop.  I went to each one and selected a single article of interest.  Then I copied the article into a word document.

Selecting a single article from seven magazines added up to twenty pages of content.  Wow!  I did not think it would be that much.  Now the bigger question is, are the articles worth the time needed to read them?

The articles were very specific to me so for me they are.  But it most likely will take an hour to read and process the data into information.  For me these will be sources for blog posts so it is the diet needed to keep the blog going.

I suspect that most people tend to read anywhere from 20 to 100 pages of content from the Web each day.  If the effort is focused then it is of Value. But if the reading is on a starlet breakdown then it is simply wasted time.

Today's question us:
"How much content do you read each day?"
