About Us
Hello, my name is Ryah and information is my obsession!
Whatever form that takes makes no odds, I just love learning, then knowing, then passing it on to others.
New tools, like Pearltrees for social bookmarking, excite me; new twists on old ideas, like Qwiki, fascinate me and any tools that simplify my online life, like the new Buffer client for Twitter, I can’t wait to try out!
This is what Information Junkies Anonymous is all about.
- Finding information.
- Managing information.
- Sharing information.
Why?
I believe that information empowers us to create a purposeful and fulfilled life.
Whether the information is about a healthy lifestyle or the secrets of social media, it has the power to help us change our lives. One will create a healthier you, the other can help you create an online business. Either way you are empowered by information to change, to try something new, to shape your own life.
But what about that terrible affliction, information overload?
You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information there is on the web. To cope with it:
- You need a reliable way of managing the information that flows around you, and through you, every day.
- You will have to develop skills for quickly reading, and absorbing, information, discarding that which is low quality.
- You’ll find a system of saving information that enables you to find it again when it’s needed.
- You will learn where to spend your valuable time, in terms of the sites you visit, the blogs you read and the places you comment and interact with people.
All this, and more, is how you will cope with information overload.
How do I know that?
It is how I coped with information overload and began Information Junkies Anonymous.
I know it can work. I know you don’t have to be weighed down by information. I know that you can turn the tables on information overload and make it work for you, not against you.
Being able to quickly collect and retrieve relevant, high quality content is essential, not only for your own knowledge but for sharing with your audience, your prospective customers.
How can Information Junkies Anonymous help you do that?
I strive to bring you the best ideas in managing information, including online tools, organisation methods and sharing options, to better help your small business and benefit your customers.
- Focused organisation, and online technology, can help you create, curate and market relevant information to your customers or readers.
I can show you how to keep focused, how to manage your time and how to effectively use the online tools available to manage, perhaps even prevent, information overload.
How and Where?
Here on the Information Junkies Anonymous blog I’ll be writing about all aspects of information, from how to cope with it, how to manage it and how to share it. I’ll be test-driving new tools, and maybe even old tools with a new twist, to find the best ways to help you in your business.
Erudition, our weekly newsletter presentation, continuew this theme with articles, guest writers, news and tips for finding, managing and sharing information.
#GiveMe10, #DoneIn10 and #25To are our Twitter hashtags. These are great for informal accountability in helping you get things done – 10 or 25 minutes at a time. My personal motto is ‘Getting things done – 10 minutes at a time!’ because it’s how I work every day.
Klatsch is our weekly Skype chat where you can coem and ask questions about anything at all to do with your online biz. We have featured guests too, and it’s a great way to find other people to connect with and maybe work with in the future.
And finally
I’m going to repeat myself:
I believe that information empowers us to create a purposeful and fulfilled life. That’s my mission, my raison d’être, to empower you with information that will help you create the life you see only in your dreams.
