About this book

This book takes the previously separate domains of time/results management, organisational information management and personal effectiveness, and combines their individual advice to produce an interrelated strategy that promotes time savings, efficiency and personal information management. It presents case studies and outlines techniques to simplify managing personal information and explains why people encounter difficulties when they try to organise the volumes of mail, memos, e-mail reports and computer files and publications that arrive daily.
