How do you handle information overload & Depression phase?

[maheshkay]

I am not sure if you have faced burn out and depression, so if not, how do you handle information over flow?

1. Depression phase as in those dark days of say you have personal life issues, workplace issue, financial issue etc.
2. Information overload as in too many things to monitor - e.g. Workplace critical issues, open source issues, personal life prioritized issues. Including learning new stuff or inventing it or even teaching it. How do you shuffle through that information over flow?
