    Great list! I’m very fond of Tim Ferris’ ideas about e-mail diet, batching, info diet, and 80/20. Great way to cut mental clutter and enhance productivity as well as great content for entrepreneurs.

    How does a librarian reconcile an info diet? That seems like a rather difficult task, especially as info explodes. I guess it makes the task all the more vital.
