Skim, Slice and Dice to slay Information Overload

Q: If a baseball and bat cost $110, and the bat costs $100 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

If you answered $10, you just realized that your intuition could let you down or you need to go back to Elementary School.

 If you answered $5, you probably quickly guessed an answer and then tested it and iterated until the solution was consistent or you used what you learnt in Elementary School.

 The point is, you could start off thinking with your 'right-brain' and then test it with your 'left-brain'. Or using Daniel Kahneman's terms, combining System 1 with System 2 thinking.

 I suspect that, with the information overload, the optimal strategy in most contexts, would be to provide tools, so that, employees could 'efficiently' skim the page, in order to speed read documents, slice conference calls into segments, so that, they could quickly refer back to what was discussed, without losing the 'impact' and dice the email, so that your employees get off the email world and do work.
