The closest she ever came to digital organization was an electronic address book she used until it became too difficult to read the screen. It doesn’t matter whether you use an electronic document system like Eric Mack , or a shoe box in your closet: if you can’t retrieve the information when you need it, the system is not effective.

Comment by Rhonda on May 14, 2008 @ 7:32 pm David, thanks for heads-up on the book. As I have commented before on another site about lists, it is my understanding listmakers will never die, because their lists will never be done. I’ll get a copy and see what he has to say. Rhonda, I’m a big list fan. I have loads of them.
