It also suggests that the most important strategy for coping with information overload is to simply relax and not worry about missing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lurking somewhere in one of your inboxes – it'll be around again shortly.

Kernargument: Maak je niet druk dat je niet alles kunt lezen, het belangrijkste komt vanzelf nog eens bovendrijven.
Daar heeft hij zeker geen ongelijk in.
