Whether it's a faulty memory, a tendency to multitask, or
difficulty managing our time, every one of us has limitations
conspiring to keep us from being organized. But, as organizational
guru and former Google CIO Douglas C. Merrill points out, it isn't
our fault. Our brains simply aren't designed to deal with the
pressures and competing demands on our attention in today's
fast-paced, information-saturated, digital world. What's more, he
says, many of the ways in which our society is structured are
outdated, imposing additional chaos that makes us feel stressed,
scattered, and disorganized.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Luckily, we have a myriad of
amazing new digital tools and technologies at our fingertips to
help us manage the strains on our brains and on our lives; the
trick is knowing when and how to use them. This is why Merrill, who
helped spearhead Google's effort to "organize the world's
information," offers a wealth of tips and strategies for how to use
these new tools to become more organized, efficient, and successful
than ever.
But if you're looking for traditional, rigid, one-size-fits-all
strategies for organization, this isn't the book for you. Instead,
Merrill draws on his intimate knowledge of how the brain works to
help us develop fresh, innovative, and flexible systems of
organization tailored to our individual goals, constraints, and
lifestyles.
From how to harness the amazing power of search, to how to get the
most out of cloud computing, to techniques for filtering through
the enormous avalanche of information that assaults us at every
turn, to tips for minimizing distractions and better integrating
work and life, Getting Organized in the Google Era is chock-full of
practical, invaluable, and often counterintuitive advice for anyone
who wants to be more organized and productive-and less stressed--in
our 21st-century world.
