But how do you stay on top of digital adoption news without suffering from information overload?
Staying On Top of the News without Being Overwhelmed
The bottom line is that most professionals are too busy to check blog after blog, website after website.
There’s simply not enough time in the day.
And even when you do have time, how do you stay organized?
The best approach is automation.
Here are a few ideas:
- Search alerts. Search alerts, such as Google Alerts or Talkwalker Alerts, crawl the web for you on a daily or weekly basis. When a new article is published that matches your query, they send the links straight to your inbox. For instance, if you create an alert for “digital adoption” then these alert services will send a list of matching articles to your inbox.
- Feed readers. Feed readers, such as Feeder or Feedly, automatically read RSS feeds from websites. They then collect and display that content in a single dashboard. To read updates from your favorite blogs, all you have to do is visit the feed reader and all of those RSS updates will be collected in one place.
- Email subscriptions. Another simple option is to subscribe to email newsletters for all of your blogs. Most websites offer email newsletter subscriptions, making it easy to keep track of new articles and content updates.
For busy professionals, tools such as these are invaluable.
Automating your news collection can help you stay informed, without overloading your already-busy schedule.
