Bit Literacy: Productivity in the Age of Information and E-mail Overload: From Signal vs. Noise:
The message of Mark Hurst’s new book, Bit Literacy: In an age of infinite bits, time and attention are the scarce resources. The solution is to constantly manage your bits with the goal of reaching an “empty” state.
