5.0 out of 5 stars you NEED this book, May 3, 2005

By	Jamie Shaak "play on" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My favorite chapters are "Improving your relationship with Email",
"Creating the Perfect File System" and
"Using your Contact Software to Its Full Potential"

I am going to start with the email chapter and see if i can't get rid of some of these 1,000 emails in my inbox-ughhhh

This book caught my eye because my work style is very disorganized.
My email clutters up, my contacts are not in any categories and I am so tired of dealing with all the paper work by the time 5 p.m. comes that I am too tired to go home and clean anything at all.

I really need this book. I hope I can follow through with all these suggestions.
I have decided to take one chapter a month.
