March 27, 2007 E-mail stress slowing down workers, say researchers E-mail is to blame for productivity lapses and worker stress, according to a new study by researchers from Glasgow and Paisley universities.

The book doesn’t give detailed information on how to organize files on the computer, but I’ve adapted his ideas into a system that’s kept my computer desktop pristine.
