Maybe I could have used the time actually ORGANIZING something instead of reading a lot of words to give tips - some already well-known, a few interesting insights or phrased in a more compelling way, and some that are already outdated by the constant changes in our internet and Google world.
Could have been much more concise and outlined to be, indeed, helpful.
Interesting guy, but wasn't sure if his humor was worth the time it took to read through.
Maybe he as author and me as reader could have spent our time doing something more productive than dwelling on a "How to".
However, unless a book is impossible . . .I'm determined to FINISH it.
Some will find it helpful. Just wasn't for me. ( )

Quick read that very effectively helps you to think through and consider the way that you organize the information you need in order to live life. Don't know that I'd change much about the way that I organize myself, but as a middle school technology teacher, this book really made me think about how I present tech tools and organizational schemes to my seventh and eighth graders.

This book is awful. It appears written for a twelve year old. The author explains the simplest things in nauseous detail. How large would the rock have had to be that the reader has been living under to need a basic explanation of a Day Timer? He keeps referring to the important things he's told the reader when those thing were the simplest mindless crap. This should have been published as one of those books for dummies. It is not something one would expect from an ex-CIO of Google who has a PHD in cognitive science from Princeton. His first chapter was interesting but thats it. Everything said in the whole book could have been written in a three page article. ( )

A quick read. Briefly covers limitations of mind and personality, and then he goes over different things he has learned through his experience to become better organized. I enjoyed how he broke things down in to quick snippets that you can copy and rewrite to meet your own needs. Not ground breaking, but a good starting point to look at your own life and make decisions regarding your best method of organizing your work and life. ( )
