117. Building a Personal Operating System to Manage Information

Episode 117

The way I teach it, a personal operating system is a set of systems and routines we use to manage the information that comes at us all day long.

Whether we're students or professionals, we're constantly bombarded with information we can ignore, information about tasks we need to act on, and information we might need in the future.

And if we don't have a way to capture, track, and manage these bits of info during the day, we become overwhelmed, stressed out, and forgetful.

That's why we need a personal operating system. In this episode, I teach you the four simple components of a good personal operating system and exactly how to set yours up today.
