The state in which a person receives more information than they can process effectively, leading to reduced decision quality, missed messages, and increased stress. Information overload is a documented occupational phenomenon, particularly in organisations that rely heavily on email as their primary communication channel. Studies have found that knowledge workers receive an average of over 120 emails per day, far exceeding what can be thoughtfully processed alongside their other responsibilities.
