I have found that as I become more 'addicted' to information, my life has become more scatterbrained. I find it harder to remember things and my attention span slowly grew shorter and shorter. I hate to admit this as it makes me sound inferior, but it's true. I've been combatting this by not checking my email/twitter on the subway and just focusing on the book I'm reading, and watching videos in full screen. Also using Tweetdeck has helped alot because I no longer check Twitter compulsively. I wait for a tweet to come in then respond.
