Lots of good ideas to be gleaned; a few misguided
Decent book, not quite up to par with Aslett's best books. Plenty of good ideas for minimizing overhead at work and concentrating on the "real" task that needs to get done.

Decent book, not quite up to par with Aslett's best books. Plenty of good ideas for minimizing overhead at work and concentrating on the "real" task that needs to get done.

This book aims to yield maximum productivity by simplifying the workplace. It includes an analysis of the deeper psychological elements of clutter, including issues of reducing stress and achieving balance between work time and family time. A nice approach and a handy guide.
