This is an initial attempt to think about and manage my personal Collab:Channel Overload.

First-pass taxonomy:

  • Where to file
  • Where to check
  • Where to publish (being social)
  • Priorities
    • Priority
    • Periodic
    • Ambient. Okay to miss stuff (e.g. Twitter).

Evaluation criteria:

  • Number of channels
    • Incoming
    • Outgoing. (Am I contributing to Collab:Channel Overload?)
    • Per priority. Okay to have lots of ambient channels.
  • Overlap in channels. If I can file and publish in one fell swoop, that's a good thing.
    • Personal / Work boundaries?
  • Access? More credentials needed, more work.
