‘Dealing effectively with information is a matter of:
- Separating the important information from the junk;
- Maintaining a systemic approach with all incoming information;
- Taking steps to reduce information overload;
- Building up your reading speed and comprehension;
- Using memory techniques and review to assist your recall.
Effective storage of information requires:
1 Clarity about what is and is not worth filing;
2 A simple and logical structure that is routinely adhered to;
3 Regular pruning of redundant material.”
‘If you are uncertain about where to put an item, think about the most likely context in which you are liable to require it in the future.’
