Information management is key to successful living

Information or "data" management is key to successful living simply it influences our decision making processes in pretty much all aspects of our lives (not just our working / professional lives!).. From organizing our diaries, and scheduling our task lists (or to-do lists) we rely on the structure of what we enter to help remind us of our true priorities



Structured information versus Unstructured information:
While we'd like to keep our lives structured and well organised, life is quite simply not as structured as we'd like it to be, as others actions can have an infleunce on the decisons we make, and therefore reduce the structure we might find we'd like to have on an ongoing basis. Take for example where you've arranged a meeting with a contact next Friday night, only to find that this person has had a serious accident or has died, so that event will no longer take place through no fault of your own, hence the lack of "self" structure in life in general.
