Product Description
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, this 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."

Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload
Bit Literacy has really helped me to reduce the "weight" that I feel from too many bits (email, digital photos, music, files, etc.). Following the methods for organizing my bits has revolutionized the way I work.
Great for David Allen GTD-Lovers April 30, 2008

A few years ago my dad got me hooked on David Allen's Getting Things Done. I've been following Mark Hurst's blog for awhile now and bought my dad his popular book Bit Literacy. It's perfect for those who have adopted David Allen's techniques. Regardless, everyone must read this book. Although a lot of the ideas and techniques can be picked up elsewhere, there are several that will have a huge impact on how I handle the bits in my life moving forward. Check it out.
Can't Solve Email Overload With More Technology! April 22, 2008

This book presents a frank view of the email world we live in, and presents a good solution. Having followed the author's recommendations, I can say that my email in-basket remains very small, and the stress of managing a large backlog of unread (AND unhandled) items is gone.
Columnists keep writing about the problem of email overload, and all seem to want MORE technology to somehow solve the problem. That's not the answer!
It's Amazing How Just a Few Simple Changes Can Make Such a Big Difference April 13, 2008

Following the suggestions in this book can really make a difference. I've taken a phased approach - tackling e-mail and to-do list first. Just changing the way I handle these two things has increased my productivity dramatically. Seeing an empty e-mail box does take a bit of getting used to though. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a way to take control of the flood of information coming their way.
