When we live in an information age like we do it is very hard to filter out the crap and absorb the good.

A life skill that is becoming more and more essential is information processing (not that it has ever been un-important) as we are bombarded with information everywhere we look.

We have screens that tell us stuff, adverts that tell us garbage, media and governments that tell us lies in order for us to behave in certain ways.

We have big brother and a whole bunch of other exposure to stuff that humans never had before.

It can’t last forever though, increased media exposure to world events helps fuel the fire and in my opinion causes a lot more problems than it solves.

Without stepping into a political rant, I think we are on the same page and know where we are both coming from

As for documenting our ideas, perhaps the problem is we want to do so much. If you like drawing, a sketchbook is all you need, writing only takes a notebook or a Google Docs account. But keeping track of everything that fascinates us, from bookmarking stuff to using Twitter as a mind dump, often fragments our thoughts even more I feel.

I wish it didn’t, but to me it often leads to less focus, not more. And blogging in its turn suffers from that, in quite a recognizable way to what you experienced.

Take care too, enjoy your marriage - above all things - and keep posting. You’re doing fine!
