About this listen
New York Times best-selling author and neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin shifts his keen insights from your brain on music to your brain in a sea of details.
The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data. At the same time, we're expected to make more - and faster - decisions about our lives than ever before. No wonder, then, that the average American reports frequently losing car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort required just to keep up.
But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information flow. In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the latest brain science to demonstrate how those people excel - and how listeners can use their methods to regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and time.
With lively, entertaining chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer to health care to executive office workflow, Levitin reveals how new research into the cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to the challenges of our daily lives. This Is Your Brain on Music showed how to better play and appreciate music through an understanding of how the brain works. The Organized Mind shows how to navigate the churning flood of information in the 21st century with the same neuroscientific perspective.

informative
It's an informative book, sometimes dry and too wordy. some of the examples come across as rather sexist. ie, why is it the woman who falls into the tracks an needs rescuing by a man.

half the book is gold, half is written in Yapanese
its worth listening to for the value in the first half of the book. the author then goes on to yap about nonsense for the remainder of the book. i would rate the first half a 4-5 stars, while the latter half a 1-2 stars. the book should have stopped halfway through.

Boring…Ended up skipping through most of it
Too wordy and I didn’t really understand the point of the book. No practical value.
