Coming today to TechnoFeature: You process much more information than you did ten years ago. But do you have more time every day to do so?

Enter D-A-F-T — a new organizational system created by virtual assistant extraordinaire Andrea Cannavina. D-A-F-T incorporates some of the principles of other systems such as FAT, Getting Things Done, and Zero Inbox, but with two important differences — less of a time commitment and more flexibility. Put it to work in your law firm today.
