Whether it’s a faulty storage, a propensity to multitask, or difficulty managing our period, all of us has limitations conspiring to maintain us from organization. But, as organizational guru and former Google CIO Douglas C. Merrill highlights, it is not our problem. Our brains basically aren’t made 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, lots of the ways that our society is definitely structured about Obtaining Organized in the Google Period: How to Get Stuff out of YOUR MIND, Find It WHEN IT’S NEEDED, and Get It Done Right are obsolete, imposing additional chaos which makes us feel pressured, spread, and disorganized.

But it doesn’t have to become this way. Luckily, we have a myriad of amazing new digital equipment and systems at our fingertips to greatly help us manage the strains on our brains and on our lives; the secret is understanding when and how to use them. This is why Merrill, who helped spearhead Google’s work to ‘organize the world’s information,’ offers an abundance of ideas and approaches for how to use these new tools to be more organized, efficient, and successful than ever before.

But if you are seeking for traditional, rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches for organization, this is not the book for you.

From how exactly to harness the amazing power of search, to ways to get one of the most out of cloud processing, to approaches for filtering through the enormous avalanche of information that assaults us at every turn, to techniques for minimizing distractions and better integrating function and life, Getting Organized in the Google Period is chock-full of practical, invaluable, and often counterintuitive advice for anyone who would like to become more organized and productive-and less stressed–in our 21st-century world.
