Never read the book, but I got these seventeen points from it. Book is by Richard Swenson, M.D., “Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives.” Interesting to see how overloaded our society can be, and how Swenson chose to articulate it. Here are the seventeen different types of overload as he saw them.
-Activity Overload
-Change Overload
-Choice Overload
-Commitment Overload
-Debt Overload
-Decision Overload
-Expectation Overload
-Fatigue Overload
-Hurry Overload
-Information Overload
-Media Overload
-Noise Overload
-People Overload
-Possession Overload
-Technology Overload
-Traffic Overload
-Work Overload
Anything on that list surprise you? Anything make sense once you thought about it, but never thought about it before in that way? Anything to add to the list? Let’s hear your comments.
Not surprising but I certainly relate to most of them in that I’ve felt them before. For me, lately I’ve been thinking on possession and information overloads. These are so evident here and now in our society.
