Over the last several months I have been pouring over as many different research articles as I could in order to get a handle of what has already been done, discovered, and discussed in relation to information overload and email overload. Luckily, some fantastic researchers both in academia and industry have been busy studying out the problem to a great extent.<\/p>\n

I want to share at least some of the best snippets I have found, and especially the particular papers that I have found helpful. I’m not exactly sure how I want to disseminate this information, other than I know that I want it out there, so I’m going to start with a very simple PDF file and text bibliography. I may expand it in the future if I can find a better way to communicate it. For now, I hope that others looking for good, solid research will be able to use this as a good resource for information and email overload. Oh, and for now it also includes my personal notes and thoughts, so you can just ignore that column if you want. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
