Ever return from vacation or been busy working on a task all day and when you look at your Inbox, there are a large number of emails, many with vaguely important subject headings. Or possibly you have a meeting to go to and you realize there are some lengthy documents to read in preparation for the meeting? How can you get the executive summary when there is none available?
Are there mental techniques or software to help process large amounts of information, figure out what can be temporarily ignored, and what is high priority to understand?
