I am not a big fan of touch screen keyboards as they are not a true QWERTY keyboard. The touch screen keyboard won’t give you a fast typing rate because you have to type with one finger versus all 10. If you don’t have it with you, whip out your cell phone and send yourself a text message or email.

Recently I was working with someone on an Excel document. They sent an e-mail wondering if any of the assistants could help them export a document from Excel to Word. Unlike Word you will only see the header repeated when you do a print preview or print the document. Or if you want to attach a file, choose Attach File.

Keeps all your appointments, contacts and email in one spot so it's all synched up. I can also store email templates and phone "scripts" (bullet point items of what to cover on certain types of calls).

This can be as simple as having hanging file folders marked from January to December and then you just put items in the appropriate month that you need to bring forward for your boss. If you are sent an email with a request to do something either asap or later, did you do it or have you diarized it to do it later?

Although it’s been more than 7 months since I’ve published it, I still get a few re-tweets per week and a decent number of monthly thank you emails. After I finish, I send the generated mind map as an email attachment. For that, I’m using Quicksilver, the MacJournal shortcut and self-addressed emails. That’s all.
