We consume but we don’t chew

”In the workplace, the mismanagement of information overload from email, text, instant chat, and the like—all available on mobile devices to boot—can stifle creativity and innovation, not to mention diminish our energy levels, motivation, and health. Consequently, many of us operate in a reactive mode, constantly—and often futilely—trying to keep pace with the information with which we are bombarded.”

– The Primal Blueprint, Mark Sisson

We gorge ourselves on information but never take the time to chew it and truly take it in, giving ourselves an “intellectual tummy ache”.
