Information is great.
It gives you knowledge, power and confidence. As long as it's organised. If not, searching for an important fact can be like the proverbial haystack and needle situation. That's bad enough with a pile of paper in an office, but with electronic information bombarding us from e-mails and the Web, the problem can become even worse. One solution to this is to use a personal information manager, but this requires you to enter all new data into a specific program, so it's not perfect in every case.
