It’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in Free Ebooks - hopefully one of the things that David Allen will address in a future edition of his newsletter or a book, or whatever, will be how to deal with this.Since huge Hard Drives are so cheap, you don’t really have to limit the actual number of ebooks you download! But the more you download, the larger your ‘pyschic bookshelf’ gets.


On a particular day,you download this or that particular one for tips on how to do Astral Projection, and then another free one that has great info explaining Design Patterns. You find a link for yet another interesting large ebook that discusses how to set up a web server.

You actually have a different intention for how each one fits into your current projects, but before you know it, you have over 500 PDF’s, and you know that were was a purpose behind taking the time to download them.

I thought I was being smart by creating a folder named: “Priority To Read” (and this one is under Ebooks\Business). But, at last count, I have 74 ebooks in this folder, and there is no consistent, dependable way of settings bookmarks in these files.

So I have a folder underneath this folder, named “Current”. And there are 4 ebooks in that folder. I have a post-it note on my monitor, where I keep track of what page number I’m at in each ebook.
