I think "information overload" happens for those who perhaps have FOMO. Some people just don't want to miss out on that "next" piece of information. But with so much information out there, it's just best to take on face value the information that is learned, and simply just take action on it, and edit along the way. I used to be that person who would always need to get every detail correct or down before I started on a project/task at hand. And that's what happened, I'd never start because I'd think I was not ready.

It's just best to step away from all the information out there (from gurus, to DIY, etc.) and just CREATE. People need to take action like you said, and make creations, share them with others and get feedback is the best way to learn without getting information overload in my opinion.
