If you aren't particularly tech-savvy, you might feel more comfortable using a paper planner, rather than having to learn the ins and outs of an electronic diary system. I think every business professional these days must find the right combination of tools for managing their Calendar, Contacts, Info Capture and Info Recall.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. The Problem with Paper Clutter: Creating a Paper Management System Reply Mark W. I’m a pretty fast typist but it made me realise how unnatural it is to use a keyboard, or even a pen.

Keeping and managing a posts ideas incubator impacted my blogging in so many positive ways: I never run out of interesting things to blog about, I always have a bird view of my blog topics (hence, I’m able to sketch my potential audience in more accurate way) and I’m constantly feeding my blog with fresh content. Well, I dont.

You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. Thank you so much for injecting the serum of joy in writing back into my system. Griffin – Drool and keyboards don’t mix. But I managed to finish the project by self-discipline.

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. Not only does it get the initial anger out of your system, when you get it in your inbox, it also gives you some perspective on how YOU come across on emails! Sometimes it’s best to just walk away from the keyboard. Bang” out a response is probably more appropriate.

Many people take advantage of that openness on another level, which is to say we’ve all had trouble with copyright law and keeping our work our own. How do you deal with copyright infringements and people stealing your work? I think that’s what we’re there for. It’s funny. Just grasp that moment, eh? I blame the beer.

If that kind of fast checking could be allowed on a pay-blog, then maybe the whole system could work. What follows is me thinking into my keyboard. And then only what I can manage to actually read.
