My iPad has an awesome case and keyboard made by Zagg (in red of course to match my business brand!). I always synch all of my files from my main Mac computer in my home office to Dropbox so that I am sure to have all of them handy while on the road by using the app on my phone and tablet. Use a good task tool.

I will also place items on the Dock from time to time that I do need to use for a project so that I get a visual trigger whenever I use my Air. By appending certain letters in front of file names (like “VME” for this weblog), Hazel knows to put what documents into what folder. I make the Finder my Finder. I use colour.

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. As a rule, I never delete any emails or throw out any files or paper. It also is cause for a lot of errors.

The project management triangle applies very well to blogging: you’re always looking for the sweet spot between speed and quality content to provide great value to your readers. Get what you need from the page, record the information and the source in a text file, and then close the tab. You’re not alone.

When the results were in, I met with the person who administered it and one of the things it showed, other than the fact that I ranked very high in administration, was that I work best on short-term projects where I can see the end in sight. I will have all kinds of energy to work on a project if I know it is ending at one point.

Those who lose track of time might want a system with a programmable alarm, left-brain types generally need lots of space for lists, while creative folks might prefer a less linear "mind-map" way of organizing projects and to-do's.   Fun Meets Function! I like a paper planner/to-do list. Color and fun = Function!

I use hanging file folders labelled from January through to December. Every afternoon before I leave for the day, I go through the hanging file for that month to see if there is anything I need to bring forward for the next day. Let your fingers do the walking: Quick keyboard sh. Otherwise, I never remember to check it.

I am part of the project management office at my company and I hear the term roadblocks all the time. This article is extremely well written, and I have already printed a hardcopy, which I am going to add to my file. Let your fingers do the walking: Quick keyboard sh. Hi Patricia: What an encouraging message this is.

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. You see, I had this brilliant idea that I wanted to record some audio files. I’m a pretty fast typist but it made me realise how unnatural it is to use a keyboard, or even a pen.

And you might make a big mistake one day that costs you a lot, like deleting a critical file by accident. Reply Cal_3 June 28, 2010 at 11:08 am Sometimes, deep in the trance in writing late at night, I have to take a step back and convince myself that the project still be there in the morning. Bank it up! hours of sleep is achieved.
