Beat the Bumf! by Kathryn Redway
Do You Suffer From Piles? Piles of paperwork, reading matter and computer data are the bane of everyone's life: in a week you come across more information than someone in the nineteenth century received in a whole year. The problem of how to process all that information and its evil twin brother 'bumf' becomes ever more acute. Now in a new and revised edition of her timely bestseller, Kathryn Redway shows you how to maximise your memory, regain control of the invasive electronic culture, read rapidly and retain salient information, prioritise information you receive and filter out what you do not need. This edition uses case studies and some of the most advanced - but easy to use - information management techniques available to help busy managers, offices and individuals avoid becoming snowed under by paperwork, master their time and absorb and convey key information. It will help you make meetings more effective, suggest tips to stick to the agenda and finish on time, keep the number of incoming and outgoing emails manageable as well as de-clutter your filing systems. No-one faced with information overload can afford to ignore 'Beat the Bumf!'.
