Beat the Bumph!: Cut Clutter, Read Rapidly and Succeed in the Information Jungle - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In a week of a person's life, people come across more information than the average person received in a whole year in 19th-century Europe. Information and its evil twin brother "bumph" comes from the piles of paperwork, reading matter and information that have to be dealt with but hinder people from accomplishing their primary tasks. It is found in meetings, on the radio, in conversations, in public address announcements; on paper, TV, innumerable types of information monitor screens and notice boards; and sometimes from the senses of smell, touch and taste. All this information entering the brain competes for attention, time and memory space, so that it may be categorized, pigeon-holed and recalled, and used at the appropriate time in the future. This "bumph-free" book aims to educate readers in ways of meeting these new challenges by adopting techniques that they never would have had the opportunity of picking up at school or college. It uses 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 printouts and paperwork, master their time and absorb key information. Kathryn Redway is the author of "Rapid Reading".
