Good for your career
I recently purchased the 2001 edition, because my very old and tattered copy had to be retired from excessive use. I read the first edition of this book 1983, because a successful executive assistant recommended it to me when I landed my first secretarial job. The skills I acquired in those early days provided an important foundation...to which I attribute my following career successes. Ms. Winston's update for the "digital age" is presented in the same no-nonsense style that held my attention over the years. Her suggestions on how to integrate technology into our organizational systems are timely and helpful.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for skills that will benefit their career...and last a lifetime.

A Classic Text, Superficially Updated
The cover claims that the book has been "revised and updated for the digital age," but Winston's information on technological tools is both superficial and already dated. The term, "PDA," does not even appear in the index.

Great book on organizing yourself
I bought this book thinking it would be just another book on cleaning out your mess type of talk. I've been there and done that, but seeing some of the content first I realized there was more to it. I have gotten several tips from the book that will help me a lot. For example, having a file for a staff meeting to collect ideas of things to talk about for an agenda. The only problem is that the book is very centered around filing and paper, and not enough on the electronic systems. Everything mentioned with regards to paper files can be used on a computer as well, but I think this book needs yet another update to get into more details. Overall, I really liked this book, must be a compulsion for organization on my part! Similar Products
