A comment on Conversation: How do you deal with data deluge (too much email, too many tweets, etc.)?

Jun 27 2011: I got on Facebook to find an address and ended up at a TED Conversation. This is how it happens.

Jun 27 2011: Exactly - Any information you might have missed will likely be archived anyway, so you needn't stress about seeing it at the time.

Jun 27 2011: That's exactly what I find - increased distractibility due to connectivity and therefore I have a greater pile of "open tabs" waiting for my attention at the end of the day.

Jun 27 2011: Separate e-mail accounts for work and play (with my play account acting as a filter for notifications from social sites), two different Twitter accounts (work and play), actually, pretty much two different accounts for work and play on every site. I get far more messages for play than I do for work, so I feel free to ignore it till I have time in the evening or weekend.

After all, it's just play, right? I can choose to participate or not.

But the real problem is remembering to clear out my inbox after the related situation is resolved.
