If you’re someone who has done business the traditional way for years you may not be able to fathom the idea of an office that doesn’t rely on the phone to do business.

You thought you heard the phone ring this morning but you aren’t sure. Check your email. Doodle on a note pad. Doodling doesn’t work with a pen because you can’t erase mistakes. Look at your email. Read that long chain email someone forwarded to you. Send an email to your client.

It has games, psychology, science, fun doodles, brain scans and technical step by step instructions. Answer emails.
