How I Use My iPad to Get Work Done

Do you have have an iPad?

Do you use it for work?  Do you use it for fun?  Or both?

There has been interesting debate lately as to whether the iPad is more for consumption or for creation.  In other words, is it more for accessing media? (Surfing the web, watching movies, reading books)  Or can it truly be used to create content? (Do work, create documents, etc.)

I do believe that at the current time, it is better at consumption.  Much of this is by design and also due to a lack of productivity apps. However, the apps are catching up rapidly.  And it seems almost daily there is a new use for the iPad.

Today, I thought I would share some of the apps that I use to “get work done” on my iPad. (more…)

People love to send volleys of emails back and forth.  Some like to see how quickly they can do it.  Others like to see how far they can send their message.

The problem is that email sport wastes a lot of time.  The back-and-forth is counterproductive.  Email was intended to help get work done, but it usually gets in the way of productivity.

Do you play the email ping-pong game? (more…)

Stepping Forward… Toward Your Goals.

What did you do today to move closer to your goals?

Whether it is that promotion at work?
Or to get in shape?
Or to finish that home improvement project?

Big goals are very rarely accomplished in one effort.  It takes lots of small steps to reach them.

So, what is your “one step” forward today? (more…)
