The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in an Age of Information Overload
The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data, both in our professional and personal lives. At the same time, we’re expected to make more—and faster—decisions about our lives than ever before. No wonder, then, that the average American reports frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up.
Even Rotarians are not exempt from information overload: there are so many things to know about Rotary and its infinite opportunities for service, in addition to what we already experience in our professional and personal daily lives. We struggle between ever-more interesting information available at our fingertips and what seems to have become less and less time to absorb and enjoy this bonanza of knowledge.
But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. In his Talk at Google, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excel—and how readers can use their methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and time.
