About this title

Synopsis

Offers methods and tips for managing paper and computer documents, including systems for maintaining files and guidelines for deciding when to keep and delete information

Reviews

Our lives have become so disarrayed that a whole new group of entrepreneurs called "professional organizers" has grown up, and they are able to make a living showing others how to manage clutter and save time. These so-called organizers even have their own 700-member professional association, of which Hemphill is a past president. In the recent past it was bits and pieces of paper that filled up our in baskets, piled up on our desks, and overflowed drawers. Now we have bits and bytes of information and data adding to the disorder. Hemphill updates the third edition of her Taming the Paper Tiger (1992) with this new guide, which includes advice on handling e-mail, dealing with voice mail, and backing up computer files. But this book does more than offer tips on filing systems and suggest time-saving shortcuts. Hemphill also considers the psychological and organizational roadblocks to "getting organized." Recommended for personal as well as library collections. David Rouse
