As is now customary, I’ve collated the best blog posts I wrote last year (determined by PostRank and personal choice) and put them into handy book form.
It’s FREE and available to download now.
Also available:
I’ve got an idea for a book on The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies as well as an updated version of #uppingyourgame: a practical guide to personal productivity.
