(More customer reviews)Just as you would hire specialists to organize your closets, use John Caunt's tips to organize your business and personal life. He offers creative ideas for individuals who perennially can't find their notes and miss their deadlines, and provides some modest but workable solutions to chaos and clutter. Getting organized may not seem difficult, if you are an organized person. If you aren't, Caunt understands. He has given this idea a lot of thought, and his useful book may help you overcome bad habits and become more productive. We recommend this easy-to-read handbook to disorganized people who have always wondered how the other half does it.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Time (3rd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just finished the 3rd edition of MYT, and was quite impressed. I haven't seen the first two editions, but this one certainly fills the bill, if you're looking for solutions to time-pressure problems. That the book is funny, is a real bonus. It makes it easier to get through every chapter. I found the section found "Thinking Your Way Out of Timetraps" to be the best part of the book. After all, much of what we face on a daily basis is self-induced. You can blame your boss, you can blame other people, but when you really get honest with yourself, as you learn in the book, most of the time pressure you feel is a result of your own activities and beliefs. Do yourself a favor and get this book.

The Sharing Solution: How to Save Money, Simplify Your Life & Build Community Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A couple years ago I went fishing with a group of girls in Lareto, Mexico. It was a vacation away from both the work and the men in our lives. We were five and we stayed in a cheap motel by the waterfront and we went out in small boats early in the morning and fished the day away. At night we pooled our catch and shared it with some of the locals, who managed to take what we'd caught and turn it into a veratible feast night after night.
And as the yellow sun faded from the sky, someone would get the extension cords, others would bring out the chairs from their homes as a couple men would bring out a television and fifteen or twenty people would sit outside in the evening's heat and watch. These people were poor. Sharing was a way of life for them. And you know, they seemed happy.
In the Sharing Solution, you'll learn that sharing is work. There is a certain amount of trust required and sometimes agreements need to be drawn up. But you will save money, however even if saving money isn't your goal, you'll make friends and we can never have enough of those.
There are four hundred or so pages on sharing in The Sharing Solution and they cover just about every aspect of just about anything you'd care to share, from ride sharing etiquette to running a co-op. The book is full of practical advice and though not everything here will apply to everyone, I think there is plenty here that anyone can use. If you want to save some money, make some friends and go a little green, give this book a look. You won't be disappointed.

Getting Your Sh*t Together: A Professional Practices Manual For Artists: By Karen Atkinson and GYST Ink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this is a great resource for a professional artist at pretty much any stage in a career. If you can't make it to one of GYST's workshops this book is a good way to download a lot of really helpful nuts and bolts information and tools for managing the "back office" life of an artist who wants to organize themselves professionally.

Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a superb book. As a doctor and an entrepreneur I have read many books on time management and being more efficient, and been disappointed by most of them. This book is by far the best I have read.
It has just enough theory to help the reader get the big picture, but nothing more. Unlike a lot of books that are twice as long as they should be, this short book respects the reader by delivering the information in an efficient and easy to digest manner.
I especially appreciate the clear instructions on how to implement the author's suggestions. I gave the book out to all my co-workers and several friends. Recently, our entire team talked about how each of us has implemented the book's ideas. Some of us are using all of them, and some are using a few of them, but no one decided not to use any of them. Given how challenging it is to change human behavior, I think this is amazing.
I give this my highest possible recommendation without any reservations at all.

"Bit Literacy" is essential reading for anyone who has experienced "digital overload": the daily flood of e-mail, multiple todo lists, a cluttered desktop, documents in various file formats, and the constant distraction of cell phones and other devices. More than a quick fix or another "how-to" guide, the book offers an entirely new way of attaining productivity that users at any level of expertise can put into action right away. This is "bit literacy," a method for working more productively in the digital age, with less stress.Mark Hurst - who has reached hundreds of thousands of readers through his Good Experience e-mail newsletter, Uncle Mark technology guides, thisisbroken.com, and other websites - has revealed the way to survive, and thrive, in the digital age: "Let the bits go."
