One of the Most Useful Technology Books to Read

I happened to pick up this excellent book from a local library. It has everything I need to know about organizing my life in the tech era. It was written in a precise and straight forward language with selected amount of useful information. I have read quite a few books in organizing and technology management. This book amazingly covers most core principles in other books, and its texts are less than 150 pages. Ms. Hedrick starts from simple decisions of purchasing/using PDA or a Cellular Phone, to sophisticated system of organizing your life with papers, electronic documents, as well as relationship with other people in term of staying in touch and sharing information. The progression of depth is very nicely planned.When I think harder, I have found the concepts of this book are aligned with most 'new age' simplicity books. 'Get Organized' gives you every tool you need without the philosophical understandings. The steps and methodologies outline in this book are very easy to follow, and they are effective. If you want to dig deeper with advanced techniques, this book has plenty of leads you can follow up with.You can read 'Get Organized in the Digital Age' in an afternoon and reap the benefit of it for the rest of your life. Give it a try!

non-techie

This book has taken much of my fear out of using technology for organizing my life. It is written in a very simple manner that even a non-tech like myself can understand. Every busy person in American (and beyond)will benefit from reading this book.
