Information overload & Marijuana

Shortly since the first term of MA started, my brain has started to become entangled as the wool. It is in chaos and awaiting to be nicely knitted. However, most of the time I just have no clue how to sort it out.

I kind of believe as time goes on, I might somehow find a way out. Happily, after the two-days workshop, now I could update my brain status as following - the wool in my brain has begun to be knitted.

I’ve always considered one big reason causing the chaos in my head the overloading of information. Many new things had been introduced during classes, and there are also loads of new stuff happening in London. The fact that I’m not yet being able to really absorb them or at least handling them is making me very anxious inside, thus my brain keeps in a chaotic status.

As mentioned about information overloaded, I would really love to share that as I “wiki” the phrase, wikipedia said… it is now seen as being such a problem that a recent article in the New Scientist claimed that information overload was causing more damage to people's IQ than marijuana. How surprised it is!

During the workshop, we experienced the process of coming up the idea of new project, and also mentioned about being an artist or a designer / promoter oriented aspect of thinking. Somehow, though not directly, these had put a little light of hope into my chaotic brain. I believe that just do it rather than keep on talking about this new ideas could really help, and also that the way how I approach to every task or how I think of them really matters.

I will keep on knitting stuff in my brain, hopefully to put them into an organized and beautiful pattern.

Ps. Also found here some reference about the stages of design thinking, which actually is very similar to the process we’ve been running through during the workshop.
