Editorial Reviews

Review

Another book of information on dealing with too much information? This one is different... For making sense of the overwhelming amount of information that bombards us, this book is a good place to start...One section deals with e-mail, voicemail, finding information online, and filing and storing information. It is worth the price of the book...Those drowning in an information deluge will find that this refreshing, humorous book is chock-full of practical ideas to stay afloat. &amp;mdash; <em>Christianity Today</em> <br><br> (Christianity Today )

Product Description

A brief, practical guide to finding the key information you need, clearing information clutter, and creating space to think through block days and infotechno Sabbaths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conquering Information Overload, June 4, 2004
By "steve64999" (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This is a great book, though the title is an understatement. More than surviving information overload, it's about conquering information overload--learning how to use information to maximize your life without becoming a slave to technology. Kevin Miller has a technique for just about everything, from managing email to surfing the internet (he shows you which search engine to use for what purpose) to organizing your office to prioritizing your day...and, subsequently, your life. I found the second chapter, "Selecting Your Key Information Areas" most helpful; through a simple five question survey I was able to define and refine my list of professional and personal priorities--and I was able to pinpoint which areas need pruning. Also helpful is chapter four, "How To Turn Information Into Results," which shows how to put information to work by focusing on action steps related to each meeting and each project. Though there are hundreds of tips and practical pointers in this book, "Surviving Information Overload" is a quick and easy read. What's more, Kevin's foreword gives you permission to skip some sections and skim others. "You don't have to finish this book. Read only as much as you find helpful," he says. Actually, being able to skip and skim is a sign you're getting the hang of Miller's method--there's no point in trying to sort information you have no use for. For me, however, I read the whole thing.
