Something that occupies our thinking a lot is taming all the information that hits our PCs and desks every day. Maybe you find this a problem as well, and that's why you arrived at this website. Information comes at us from all directions: Documents from colleagues, websites, web articles, social networking reference, emails, instant messages, passwords and other access tokens, magazine articles, news clippings, spreadsheets, presentations and diagrams. A lot of this we want to read later, amend, add to or keep for reference. If it is useful for our work, hobbies and family life, we need to keep it, and be able to find it. Who hasn't felt overwhelmed by the increasing gush pouring out of the information pipes to which most of us are connected? This site is about information organizers for your computer files, information management generally for individuals, small businesses and global enterprises.
Our first article here is the story of one person's search for the 'magic sauce' in building an information organizer.
When you present information, how can you make sure it is absorbed, retained and acted on? The second piece here about taming information is a mindmap summary of a telling and profound book: "Made to Stick" by Chip and Dan Heath.
InformationTamers is still an embryo at present, but work is going on behind the scenes . . . More is coming.
