Google Calendar A Godsend To A Small Business Marketer
I'm spending as much time working from my home office as working from my "office" office, or my clients' offices. Yes, I do have a PDA (it's a grown up Palm Pilot called AlphaSmart, a laptop alternative). But I'm not too diligent when it comes to synchronizing it with my Outlook.
Now, the new Google Calendar comes to my rescue. The Quick Add feature is the best. It's almost like having a human personal assistant. "Susan, I am having lunch with John Q. The Client at 12:30 PM tomorrow".
And what if I'm not online? Well, that shouldn't be too much of a problem because I have my daily to do list with me.
Alright. I'm giving it a try.

Hey Alex - long time no talk. About these connecting devices, blackberry, blueberry, rasberrys - I find it difficult to turn the whole connecing thing off. One day I will make it happen and turn everying off for a day or even perhaps a week!
Oh well, so much for day dreaming!

Hi Len & thanks for stopping by.
It's ironic how the tools that are supposed to enhance our lives start controlling it.
I don't any problem associated with the connecting devices because... I don't have any connecting devices. Aside from my cell phone, that is. Which works as a phone and that's it can do. No camera, no nuttin'.
To ensure I don't get interrupted all the time and maintain my focus, I turned off the automatic download of my emails in Outlook. I have a specific time slot - or slots - just for emails.
Next step will be to have a specific time slot to return my voice mails.
My experience is that highly efficient people don't have - nor do they need - any gadgets. So let's learn from them.
-Alex
