Who has made a New Year’s resolution to be more organized? I know that a little more organization would go a long way to making my home and life run more smoothly.

Allen shows you how to set up a simple system that will allow you to track your time and be more efficient. It is geared more towards someone working in an office, but I found it still works well for my homeschooling and blogging tasks. There are also lots of websites to help you implement the system and make it even more usable. I have been integrating the principles with Evernote as described in The Secret Weapon website.

Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics

By Brian Clifton

As a blogger I use Google Analytics to track site statistics, and this book is all about using the Google Analytics tool more effectively. Before I read this book about all I knew how to do was check the number of visitors and where they were coming from, but there is so much more I was missing out on.
