Put Time Management to Work: Get Organized, Streamline Processes, Use the Right Technology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was particularly looking forward to the chapter on email, since my INBOX is perpetually swamped. However, this book spends too much time describing, step-by-step, how to use microsoft outlook. I already know the mechanics of how to use the program, and no real insight was provided.
Other chapters had similar problems - her suggested solutions are too rigid, don't address fundamental problems.
Here are her tips for organizing computer files:
1. Right click the start button, click Explore, then find My Documents folder , and double click to open.
2. Click File, point to New: then click Folder.
and on and on...
So, if your computer files are disorganzied because you don't know the basics of how to use a computer, you might benefit from this book. But if you'd like tips on how to deal with files that could go logically go in more than one place, ways to keep track of different versions of the same file, or anything more complex, forget it.
The topics on organizing your house & workspace are much better covered in Morgenstern's "Organizing From the Inside Out".
