Glutted

I've mostly fancied myself a producer and creator rather than one whom only consume. I dislike the idea of being a consumer alone. Yet in recent months, I feel that is what I have become…

Much of it has to do with being more deeply "plugged in" to the digital culture of endless information. I've been glutted. Despite attempts at a healthy media diet, I am fast losing my ability to produce given the epic amount of thoughts I swallow from day to day via the various media feeds in my life.

Mind you, I am not filling my head with junk. The most worthless concepts moving in and out of my mind are likely related to baseball, a harmless past time. Everyone needs something. Otherwise, it is a mix of journalism on the state of China, digital and social innovations in education, reflections on the state of the Christian faith, and other matters pertaining to development and all forms of idealism I confess to. They are all matters that apply to my life in some way, shape, or form.

But I'm spilling over and I haven't produced.

This needs to change.
