Information overload: Filter, then decide

AI visual

An overflowing inbox, around fifty notifications, a decision due today: what’s missing isn’t information.

We rarely pile up information to decide better; more often it’s to reassure ourselves, or to avoid being caught off guard. This module teaches you to choose what you let in: three questions to sort your sources, the habit of stopping your search, and AI to handle your morning sorting.

~20 min at your own paceKey skill: Decision-Making and JudgmentAvailable in FR + ENNo prerequisites

What you’ll take away

  • the three questions that decide if a source deserves your attention
  • the right not to know everything, and to unsubscribe without guilt
  • a way to have AI sort, summarize, and prioritize your information streams

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants to decide with the right information and make AI a filter rather than one more source.

Learning objectives

  1. Understand why, beyond a certain volume, more information makes decisions worse instead of clearer.
  2. Recognize the two needs behind accumulating information, and decide with enough rather than complete information.
  3. Sort your sources with three questions: what the information changes, what effect it has, and where it comes from.
  4. Hand filtering, condensing, and prioritizing over to AI without turning its suggestions into a new overload.
