In our fast-paced world I often advocate for the concept of "less is more", in support of focus and simplicity. However, I am quite taken with the idea of "more is more" when I look at the tabs at the top of the Google page.
That's where I located Google Alerts. Last month I wrote a grant and I needed to gather background and supporting information about current trends in professional development. By creating a Google Alert, I get a daily annotated listing of websites and blog posting that meet my search criteria. A quick look through this daily list gives me at least one or more things worth checking out.

I won't try them all, but some things are a very good fit!
