Editorial Reviews

"If you base your assumption about this book on the title alone, you'll assume Frank Buck's book Get Organized Digitally! provides information on calendars, email, notes, and files. You are correct, but Frank goes further than most books on the market. Throughout, he provides customized examples that you'll connect with immediately. He also focuses on the overall goal of digital organization; the content is applicable to any platform. If you are looking for a guide to start organizing digitally or take your organizational skills to a new level, this book should be your choice."
--Barbara R. Blackburn, Ph.D., author of 30 books including 'Rigor is Not a Four-Letter Word'

"If you're leading in education, or teaching, Get Organized Digitally! encompasses time management and organizing principles paired with the current technologies that will take you from disorder to order. Frank Buck has detailed how to handle the most common travails of getting (and staying) productive throughout the school year."

--Ray Sidney-Smith, Google Small Business Advisor for Productivity, Evernote Certified Consultant and Evernote Regional Leader (North America)

"You didn't know better, but don't let that be your excuse anymore. This book will show you how to control your time and take back your life! Dr. Buck, once again you're helping us overcome our time-management struggles. Too many interruptions? Chapter 3. Want to be more organized? Chapters 4 and 5. Email out of control? Chapter 8. You can go on wishing things were different, or you can forgive yourself and read this book. Your time is now."
--Jason W. Womack, author of 'Your Best Just Got Better' and 'Get Momentum'

"The main lesson in the book is that anyone can write a to-do list, or have a sticky note system on their desk, but ultimately you need everything in one place. With technology at our fingertips, this has never been easier.
Each chapter offers a different resource, and then the last chapter not only summarizes key points but also offers a dozen other quick tips and ways to integrate many of the tools so they can work together"
--Stephanie Choate, MiddleWeb
