It is safe to say that technology has officially taken over this world. With the inventions of smart phones, iPads and 3D television, there is no stopping the ever-evolving digital world. With that being said, there is such a vast amount of information out there and at times it can be hard to handle the swarming results when you hit “search” on your favorite search engine. Alas, former chief information officer of Google has a book, Getting Organized in the Google Era: How to Get Stuff out of Your Head, Find it When You Need It and Get It Done Right ($16 on Amazon), that will be perfect for any forgetful, overwhelmed person who just wants a little organization in their life. (Timely with competitor search engine Bing's ads about search overload.)
What I found to set this organizational book apart from the rest is that authors, James Martin and Douglas Merrill really gave insightful details on how the mind actually works. Because of this, our minds are at times not able to process the heavy information that comes our way and we end up frustrated and unorganized! The book includes chapters dedicated to showing how to manipulate the technology that has become routine in our daily lives. With tips about how Google has now manifested amazing applications like Google Voice, Google Mail and everything else, this books enables the reader to learn how to manage and sort out what is most important in our lives.
Critics of the book include Google's own president, Dave Girouard. He even went on to mention how helpful and reliable the book is. The NY Times and Forbes magazine also gave this book a great review and high recommendations. Check your local bookstores to see if it's in stock or head over to Amazon.com to learn more. It's time to get digitally organized!
