Are You in a Data Daze? No doubt about it we live in the Information Age. Every day we are bombarded with information whether we are sitting at our desks or on our couches. The information we need (and even some we don't need) comes to us faster and in more formats than ever before. It's no wonder many of us are living with information anxiety.
    The good news is, you CAN take control of the information onslaught, and learn to find, filter, and focus on what you need. But why should you read another book to help you manage information? Because SURVIVING INFORMATION OVERLOAD is not just another book about creating a better filing system or turning off your television it is about recognizing the value of time. How do you get started? First, by figuring out how much information you are getting and how you are handling it. Are you a multi-tasker? A paper-piler? A gadget guru? However you contend with the daily information you receive, this book will help you determine what is working for you and what is not.
    Writing with warmth, humor, and more than a little empathy, Odette Pollar teaches you concrete steps you can put into immediate use to lighten your information overload, from monitoring how many times you check your e-mail to talking stock of the technologies you own. Take back your time and commit to improving the quality of your life--you will find that the results are more than worth the effort.
