Information overload occurs when there is too much information for a person to process, understand an issue, and make effective decisions. It is caused by new information being produced rapidly, data being easily duplicated and transmitted through multiple channels, and information lacking structure and containing inconsistencies. When faced with information overload, people can experience nervous breakdowns, diminished work efficiency, information fatigue, hesitation to make decisions, and stress-related diseases. To cope, one should organize information, control and reduce incoming channels, and accept they cannot process everything while focusing on the most important tasks.
