Super practical guide to all things digital organization - Google calendar, docs, Evernote, Remember the Milk. Useful for technical advice on setting up these apps/platforms and techniques for processing the real stuff of life into a comprehensive system of digital organization.
Downside - the tech has already changed.
Mixed - the author really likes the tools he uses, and does offer enough information to adapt to others, but not my preferred tools in all cases.
