About this listen
Modern society is in a state of information overload. Neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin investigates how and why our brains are struggling to keep up with the demands of the digital age.
Why is email so addictive? Is multitasking really possible? And what do successful people keep in their junk drawers?
The Organized Mind debunks myth and presents one simple idea - storing information in the physical world instead of the mind - to revolutionize 21st-century living.
In a world where information is power, The Organized Mind holds the key to harnessing that information and making it work for you.

This is not concise. Too much verbiage.
Are you on a productivity kick and want to improve yourself? Avoid this. This is like a mish mash of various information on the topic with examples ad nauseum, as if the author needed a thicker book to enhance its importance. A productivity aficionado wouldn't mind the information in this, but would want it in half the time of this audiobook. Sure, not everyone is like me and appreciated Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, whereas I found it to have too much waffle. If you're familiar with that book, you should know by now whether you'll appreciate this book or not.

Warm up your skip finger
Good listen overall. About 7 hours longer than it needed to be. Take the points you like, if it feels like waffling, skip to next chapter, I don’t think you will miss much.

Interesting look at the pressures of modern life
Many of us just exist in the modern and frantically busy world where we are presented with staggering amounts of info. This book helps us look at how much information we have to process in a single day, limits to how much we can actually do and some great techniques to help organise our lives better.

Very interesting!
The book started very high-level, as most of these types of books do..I was afraid it wouldn't get deeper. It did, but on some very strange (and extremely interesting) tangents. Overall I really enjoyed it, despite it not quite being what I'd expected or hoped, given the title.

In a sentence - organise your environment.
The book was more about organising your environment, such as filing systems. It was poorly adapted for audio with low value and unnecessarily tedious reading of things such as long passwords and binary numbers. In places ten or more examples were given of something where three would have sufficed.
