The psychological drivers of information overload shed light on the reasons why we often find ourselves seeking more information than we can effectively process. Factors such as fear of missing out (FOMO), the need for validation, and the desire for novelty contribute to our constant quest for more information. The advent of technology and the abundance of easily accessible information have intensified these drivers. However, this relentless pursuit can lead to cognitive overwhelm, decreased productivity, and increased stress. By understanding these psychological drivers, we can develop strategies to manage our information consumption, prioritize effectively, and find a balance between staying informed and maintaining our well-being.
