Here is the fourth and last insight article in the series that analyzes the negative effects of Information Overload in an enterprise setting (though many of the points noted apply to individual knowledge workers, such as small business owners, as well).
This article analyzes the cruelest impact of IO, one that doesn’t merely make people ineffective (which it certainly does), but also makes them miserable, and reaches out to hurt their families as well.

It also touches on the health impact, and concludes with a surprising finding from the UK – no spoilers, go read it!
