Top 5 Productivity Tools
August 29, 2009 by Kristin
There are a zillion productivity tools on the market that are designed to help you beat overload and get more done each day.
Some of the solutions are high-tech, some are lower-tech. Some are better for big companies, others are good for small companies and families.
Coffee Break: Skype for the iPhone
April 1, 2009 by Kristin
Skype in the palm of my hand – perfect. I’m so jazzed about this. Free Skype-to-Skype calls and handheld instant messages from any Wi-Fi zone…somebody pinch me, please. I remember trying to do something like this through the web browser on my old Treo once when I was waiting for a bus. It was an expensive – and unsuccessful – experiment.
My amazing virtual assistant told me the other day she doesn’t have SMS on her phone. What?!
More Milk
March 2, 2009 by Kristin
Less than 2 weeks after my first test run of Remember the Milk, my mobile world has been changed forever.
Since Milk wouldn’t run on my trusty Treo, it has now been retired and – at long last – there’s an iPhone in my bag. Seems the folks at RTM should have gotten commission on the sale.
Remember the Milk
February 17, 2009 by Kristin
After months of listening to my iPhone-enabled hubby rave about Remember the Milk, I finally got around to giving it a try today. I invited some of my advanced clients along for the fun, and we are in collective awe.
For years I have said that any good task manager must be portable. This has posed a real challenge for our clients who love using Outlook Tasks but carry handheld devices which are not as Task-savvy as Outlook. (Note – all my praise for Outlook Tasks is reserved for the OL 2003 Task Pad. 2007′s To-do Bar has taken us backwards.)
Organising Passwords and Logins
January 24, 2009 by Kristin
We’re often asked for a solution for organising passwords, logins, bank PINs, membership numbers, identification numbers, etc. etc.
We’ve all got loads of these to manage, and we’re way past being able to keep track of it all in our heads. Some people keep a written list or store the information in a computer file, but this is risky as others could easily access your private information.
