Getting a Grip on the Paper and Email War

I feel like I’ve been given the keys to a large end V8 after sitting in a trumped-up shopping trolley waiting for the lights to turn green… Phil Mitchell, insurance officer.

The light has gone on! It isn’t rocket science, but until you read a logical step-by-step book like this, the obvious isn’t obvious. My desk has never been so tidy and work so up to date, even at the end of the month. Gail Leighton, Office Manager, accounting firm.

I started reading Getting a Grip on the Paper War on a flight from London to a book fair in Prague. I’d only intended to have a quick scan. But you hooked me in! I grabbed paper from my bag and began to take notes. When I ran out of paper I scribbled all over the paper bag provided by the airline. (Won’t mention what it’s normally used for!). Once I reached the hotel, instead of going out to eat I stayed in my room, kept on reading and taking notes. I love the way you showed me simple ways to sort and manage the crap all over my desk. Anita, publisher’s foreign rights rep., London.
