Bill Gates's bit literacy challenge
Even technology billionaires struggle with bit literacy.
From How I Work: Bill Gates:
We're at the point now where the challenge isn't how to communicate effectively with e-mail, it's ensuring that you spend your time on the e-mail that matters most. I use tools like "in-box rules" and search folders to mark and group messages based on their content and importance.
I'm not big on to-do lists. Instead, I use e-mail and desktop folders and my online calendar. So when I walk up to my desk, I can focus on the e-mails I've flagged and check the folders that are monitoring particular projects and particular blogs.
Even with an assistant filtering his e-mail and manually creating a summary, he still sees his own information overload as a key challenge!
Bill should read all the bit literacy columns and then start using Gootodo.
(Anyone without a personal assistant should "run, not walk," to those links.)
