Whether it's a faulty memory, a tendency to multitask, or difficulty managing our time, every one of us has limitations conspiring to keep us from being organized. But, as organizational guru and former Google CIO Douglas C. Merrill points out, it isn't our fault. Our brains simply aren't designed to deal with the pressures and competing demands on our attention in today's fast-paced, information-saturated, digital world. What's more, he says, many of the ways in which our society is structured are outdated, imposing additional chaos that makes us feel stressed, scattered, and disorganized.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Luckily, we have a myriad of amazing new digital tools and technologies at our fingertips to help us manage the strains on our brains and on our lives; the trick is knowing when and how to use them. This is why Merrill, who helped spearhead Google's effort to "organize the world's information," offers a wealth of tips and strategies for how to use these new tools to become more organized, efficient, and successful than ever.
But if you're looking for traditional, rigid, one-size-fits-all strategies for organization, this isn't the book for you. Instead, Merrill draws on his intimate knowledge of how the brain works to help us develop fresh, innovative, and flexible systems of organization tailored to our individual goals, constraints, and lifestyles.
From how to harness the amazing power of search, to how to get the most out of cloud computing, to techniques for filtering through the enormous avalanche of information that assaults us at every turn, to tips for minimizing distractions and better integrating work and life, Getting Organized in the Google Era is chock-full of practical, invaluable, and often counterintuitive advice for anyone who wants to be more organized and productive–and less stressed--in our 21st-century world.

在年底忙着找工作,刷招聘网站的间隙,读了这本书。 中途被打断几次,在这个微时代,拥有清静读一本书不被微信打扰的时间简直是奢侈。 作者谷歌首席信息官的身份挺唬人。这也是本确确实实围绕着如何整理信息,如何更好的利用谷歌整理个人工作的书。 他说,我们做决定经常是建立...
评分1,google时代的工作方法其实关键不在于其方法,而在于其思维; 2,谷歌在中国玩不转,但其思维我们可以玩的转; 3,笔记重点记我思考的,而非仅仅记录书中作者所讲的; 4,做笔记为什么要留这么多的空白,不浪费么?其实这是为我后期做"读‘读书笔记’的笔记"用的——实践书中...
