It pains me to announce that my grand experiment with using electronic time management systems has officially come to an end (sort of). You see, for the past several years, I’ve been using a variety of tech tools to help organize my life and work—appointments, tasks, projects and more. But now, I’m back to paper (sort of).

When I travel, I take my laptop and Kindle Fire. 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. I have a data package on my phone and tablet so I can work from anywhere regardless of Wifi.

Phone calls. A hectic day now and then is manageable. It’s not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of good time management skills. As long as you maintain this boundary, you don’t have to travel far. Assignments. Some days the demands of the job seem never-ending. String too many together, though, and you risk burnout.
