This is Steveer Robbins. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.

It's the information age. That means we have more information than ever before, plus we have

terabyte disk drives, which means we can keep more information than ever before. But keeping it

isn't enough. We have to get it back when we need it.

Listener Deborah writes in,

How do I archive information so I can remember it even exists?

I often save data files that might be helpful,

articles that are examples of a specific concept,

or email that I archive to use later.

But then it's out of my mind when I actually need it.

I don't want to troll these file folders or tags in the hope that there might be something

helpful. Help, what do I do? Deborah, the short answer is that you move to the Australian

outback and spend the rest of your life living blissfully with nature after being adopted by a mob

of kangaroos and raised as one of their own.

Voila!

No longer will you need to worry about files, terabyte disk drives, or retrieving information.

Your only problem, solved easily with a quick field trip back to civilization, will be the

occasional case of the fleas.

By its very nature, random information is hard to remember.

Uh, it's random. If it were neatly ordered, we wouldn't call it random.

Where else do we have a large collection of random information with no real order to it?

Ah, that would be the Internet.
