We are deep into the information age. In fact, there’s so much information coming at us from so many different directions that “information anxiety” should probably be a DSM-V diagnosis. Too much information (TMI) is our reality, and while there’s a distinct difference between quantity and quality, it’s easy to get sucked into the low quality noise. Do we really want to reduce our lives to the details of Ashton Kutcher’s sex life, Alec Baldwin’s musing about flight attendants or a constant stream of updates from “friends” we haven’t seen since high school?
Recently I was involved in three different mentoring situations with three legal nurse consultants. The first one forgot and missed our phone appointment. The second failed to complete the simple advance assignment I’d given her, despite the fact that she has more than enough free time on her hands – I know because I get her constant Facebook updates. The third is raising four sons, holding down a full-time nursing job and still made time to complete the assignments on schedule and attend an additional mentoring session for an upcoming interview with a potential attorney-client. Which Certified Legal Nurse Consultant do you think will be most successful?
In these busy times fraught with TMI what will you do to cut out the noise? Make a wise decision – your CLNC® business depends on it. Now that’s a bit of information that really merits your attention.

P.S. Comment and share what you will do to cut out the noise.
If I choose to get on Facebook, surf the web, etc., I set a timer to remind me I don’t need to spend my precious time getting “TMI”.
Record my favorite TV shows so I can zip through the commercials. It cuts out at least 10 minutes!
