Like most people, I am information rich and time poor. I have discovered a book by a man who understands the way my mind organizes information.

Put simply, this book brings together a magic combination of mental, organisational and practical techniques and tools. --Jim Odell, Partner, Kemp Little Consulting

I urge every time pressed working woman or full time mum who feels there is simply not enough brain space or hours in the day to accomplish life s endless tasks, to read this book. Just realising that our brain did not evolve to be a storage tool was a relief. I have felt for a long time that my brain simply pressed the delete button on content as I tried to squeeze more and more information in. To have an additional brain in my pocket so I don t forget details, to be able to resolve the conflict between what I should be doing (and all the guilt inducing thoughts that implies) and what I can be doing, and to allocate tasks accordingly, most certainly adds up to better thinking for me. I have given myself permission to get started without the worry of finishing and that s a huge burden lifted. To then be able to come to the point of asking do I care, what do I care about and is it on my Importance Tree, are questions which I will continue to ask myself and be my guide. Busy women with hectic lives everywhere will be thanking Ben for writing this book. --Corinne Stuart, Director, Corinne Consultancy Ltd
