Information Overload When Onboarding? One Small Habit That Unlocks Big Insights

When onboarding, information is the biggest source of overload - here's how to make your life easier:

Onboarding requires learning, interpreting, and planning based on new information

The hardest part about this is your need to process information quickly and effectively

Here's a tip: Store this information outside your brain

Write it down, draw pictures, type notes - whatever helps you put it elsewhere

• This simple idea allows you effectively learn, interpret, and plan: For learning, your brain will be more available to process new information

• For interpreting, you now have a reference to summarize, evaluate, make sense, etc. of disparate and unfamiliar bits of information

• For planning, you can identify areas that need to be explored and opportunities that can be taken

You've got a lot to get through and not a lot of time - while this may feel like an extra step - the insights that result will be well worth the investment
