Kurzbeschreibung
"Bit Literacy" is essential reading for anyone who has experienced "digital overload": the daily flood of e-mail, multiple todo lists, a cluttered desktop, documents in various file formats, and the constant distraction of cell phones and other devices. More than a quick fix or another "how-to" guide, the book offers an entirely new way of attaining productivity that users at any level of expertise can put into action right away. This is "bit literacy," a method for working more productively in the digital age, with less stress. Mark Hurst - who has reached hundreds of thousands of readers through his Good Experience e-mail newsletter, Uncle Mark technology guides, thisisbroken.com, and other websites - has revealed the way to survive, and thrive, in the digital age: "Let the bits go."

Ich lese in einer früheren Rezension "langweilig" und "alte Weisheiten".
Das Buch mag vielleicht mit alten Weisheiten daherkommen, nur: Ich hatte mir nie gross Gedanken gemacht, wie ich E-Mails, Todos und Fotos Organisiere.
Das Buch hat mir geholfen. Vor allem fühlte ich mich mehrmals ertappt: Ich spielte lieber mit Funktionen von Todo-Listen, verbrachte Zeit mit Tags und Kategorien, statt die tatsächliche Arbeit zu tun.
Langweilig fand ich das Buch nicht. Der Ton bleibt sympathisch und ist nicht neunmalklug. Daher lese ich auch gerne, wenn Mark Hurst etwas ausholt.
Kurz: Die alten Weisheiten haben mir als Organisations-Anit-Talent schnell geholfen.

Tun Sie sich einen Gefallen: Lesen und kaufen Sie lieber ein Buch von David Allen (GTD). Mark Hurst bietet unter dem schönen Titel "Bit Literacy" nur Hausmannskost und alte Weisheiten. Das Ganze ist auch noch unglaublich dröge geschrieben ' was mich erstaunt, da Mark Hurst im Web durchaus unterhaltsame Artikel veröffentlicht hat.
Dieses Buch will mir nicht einmal jemand gebraucht abkaufen. Oder doch?

Superb Book
31. Oktober 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a superb book. As a doctor and an entrepreneur I have read many books on time management and being more efficient, and been disappointed by most of them. This book is by far the best I have read.
It has just enough theory to help the reader get the big picture, but nothing more. Unlike a lot of books that are twice as long as they should be, this short book respects the reader by delivering the information in an efficient and easy to digest manner.
I especially appreciate the clear instructions on how to implement the author's suggestions. I gave the book out to all my co-workers and several friends. Recently, our entire team talked about how each of us has implemented the book's ideas. Some of us are using all of them, and some are using a few of them, but no one decided not to use any of them. Given how challenging it is to change human behavior, I think this is amazing.
I give this my highest possible recommendation without any reservations at all.

Surprisingly life-changing for a little book
31. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I don't typically buy business books but want to be more effective in reaching my goals, and this book is worth its weight in gold. It helps you understand the problem of a huge amount of "bits" of information flooding your life (and inbox!) in this digital age, as well as multiple "bitstreams" - the bit sources one has to manage (your desktop, your family, your mailbox, your inbox, to-do list, task lists, voicemail etc.) This book, better than any other system, gives you a simple set of tools to get your inbox down to absolute zero and to pare down the number of bistreams you have to manage, so you can focus on achieving the more important goals and enjoying the finer things in life. Get this book.

Enjoy the Shock of an empty inbox!
29. Mai 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The other night sitting at dinner, someone asked me the small-talk question of the age "So, how much time do you spend on your email?" I listened in surprise as I heard myself say "Oh, ten or fifteen minutes at most."
I used to think I was SO clever, for having discovered I could use my email inbox as an address book, database, calendar, bookmark, and to-do list all rolled into one. "Gee," I thought, "I bet most people aren't this effective in managing information." Was it any surprise that I had two thousand emails in one inbox, and seven thousand in another, stretching back seven years? And I even thought this was a GOOD thing. Oy!
It's the genius of Mark Hurst's Bit Literacy that he gives a thoughtful and convincing set of reasons for getting your email inbox down to ZERO every day. "Let the bits go" he says. He tells you exactly how to do it -- and no, it doesn't involve just deleting everything -- as well as why. He gives you the day-to-day method, and he gives you the one-time "induction" procedure that tells you how to get to that point. These MIT grads are so methodic about technology! Anyway, soon you too can share the shock of seeing an empty email inbox. And then... go on to get something done!
Hurst tells you how to perform the magic on your email in-box, your to-do list, your photos, tells you how and where you store your files (and a good way to name the files too) and how to manage your media diet. He recommends some free tools, and some you might want to pay for.
For me, the greatest value of this book will most likely be using what Hurst calls a bit literate to-do list. In a bit literate to-do list, you can create 'to-do' items with an email, with each item tied to a particular day, and display the items in priority order, showing detail as well as summary. The Bit Literacy book actually can serve as a manual for Hurst's online to-do list service, for which he charges three dollars a month. A cynical reader might suggest that the book ought to be given away free with a paid subscription, or the relevant chapter (Chapter 5) posted for free on his service's website (to be fair, maybe it is). Not being cynical, I simply signed up for the site, and am now moving forward in creating a more-aggressive summer vacation schedule. There has to be some personal payoff for increased productivity, doesn't there?
Whether you 1) just use his OEM strategy (open, engage, move) to clean up your email inbox, or whether you 2) sign up for his bit-literate to-do list gootodo dot com or whether 3) you go whole hog, and install and use the programs he recommends in a footnote on page 177 of Bit Literacy (you could drop six or seven hundred bucks), this book is worth well more than the modest amount time you will invest in reading it. This first edition lacks an index.
