I am partial to articles with multiple links and the experience of navigating an endless web of references. As interesting and illuminating as it might seem while I am reading, the experience of jumping from one article to the next, linked or connected by references or concepts, somehow ends up feeling dizzying, confusing and quite exhausting in retrospect. I often feel like I have been tangled up in an information mess I cannot even process. I have been repressing myself from engaging in that kind of impulse-navigation lately, and have been trying to center my attention on one idea at a time: assimilate, digest, come back for more. It's what I call information assimilation hygiene. 😎
