    About this ebook

    The must-read summary of Douglas C. Merrill and James A. Martin's book: "Getting Organized in the Google Era: How to Get Stuff Out of Your Head, Find It When You Need It, and Get It Done Right". 

    This complete summary of the ideas from Douglas C. Merrill's book "Getting Organized in the Google Era" shows that today’s world is fast-paced and information-saturated. To keep your head above water, you need an organisational system which will handle the endless stream of information which gets thrown at you as well as integrating the tasks you need to get done and allowing you to focus on the challenges which will confront you every day. In other words, you need a system which takes full advantage of available technology rather than one developed for bygone eras when paper to-do lists were all that were required. Forget about looking for a one-size-fits-all organisational system – it doesn’t exist. Instead, you have to develop your own system which will meet all the unique twists and demands you face in your life and career. This summary highlights 21 Principles of Organisation to help you develop a system which works for you. 

    Added-value of this summary: 
    • Save time 
    • Understand key concepts 
    • Increase your business knowledge

    To learn more, read "Getting Organized in the Google Era" and get the important things done each and every day.

      Book Abstract

      Main Idea

      Today’s world is fast-paced and information-saturated. To keep your head above water, you need an organizational system which will handle the endless stream of information which gets thrown at you, integrate the tasks you need to get done and allow you to focus on the challenges which will confront you every day. In other words, you need an organizational system which takes full advantage of available technology rather than one developed for bygone eras when paper To-Do lists were all that were required.

      Forget about looking for a one-size-fits-all organizational system – it doesn’t exist. Instead, you have to develop your own system which will meet all the unique twists and demands you face in your life and career. As you do that, there are twenty-one organizational principles which might provide some useful clues. These principles are worth considering because they are:

      Aligned with the way your brain actually works as opposed to the way you might wish your brain worked in an ideal world.

      Based around the concept of using technology in smart ways to help you get better organized.

      Realistic and scalable which means they can handle the sheer volume of stuff which gets thrown at you every day.

      Disorganization always causes stress. The way forward is to use these 21 Principles of Organization to develop a system which works for you. The more organized you can become, it stands to reason you will feel more successful and ultimately less stressed. The key is to stop wasting time and do more of what you decide is important to do
