A World Without Email

Pretty good. Meanders a little. Has some vignettes that don't add to the thesis. A few leaps of intuition and maybe a couple Gladwellesque load-bearing-but-weak-connections.

However, might be a good jumping off place for serious research. I think the core thesis that it's important to make time to do your real job is correct.

I'm surprised at his contention that non-engineering disciplines don't use taskboards, sprints and similar tools to organize their work, and I'm not sure the ideas in this book are much advanced from David Allen's ideas that were popular a couple decades ago. I'm sure this is true for many organizations but not any that I've been involved with for the last 10 or 15 years.

You'd be surprised how many organizations do not use email internally anymore!
