Better Browser Management
How do you cope with your daily internet feeds? I always feel like I have a hundred browser tabs open first thing in the morning, and usually I do by the time I run through and check all my daily blogs, news updates, site stats, etc, etc. I’ve remedied part of the problem using RSS [...]
Dual Monitor
I just this weekend got a very cheap 23″ monitor (practically free) and decided to try the dual monitor thing again. I was concerned about it given issues with remote access and having some programs open on one screen and others in the other screen. I am not sure about the return visit tomorrow morning [...]
Outlook Social Connector
I recently (last week) got my Windows 7 computer in place. I do not even have a printer installed yet (not that I need one). This means a lot of Outlook things have left me like Xobni but I do not miss it. I was catching up on my reading and read about the Outlook [...]
Ticket System
Right before Thanksgiving we purchased an online ticketing system that integrates with Outlook and QuickBooks. I was not entirely sure how well it would work out but my larger clients love it (they can submit and track their own tickets) and it has really helped inside our office as well. We are better able to [...]
BCM

Weekly Review
Well about five weeks ago I started a weekly review. I used to do monthly meetings and then for one reason or another they stopped. With the new place in Jennings, I thought it was a good idea to start meetings again. Nothing too formal but something that will define the coming week and how [...]
JigSaw
Well I read an article about JigSaw the other day. The author was discussing its benefits compared to LinkedIn which I have discussed a few times. I think LinkedIn has a great benefit for me and my business. I can see that JigSaw has a benefit for some businesses, but I am not sure how [...]
Outlook Changes
Well I have never really used the Outlook Notes area, but I have started to use them more over the last week. My normal system includes having three windows open – Email, Calendar, and Tasks. I use the email window to look at contacts and now also notes.
Why have I not used notes before? I [...]
Google Tasks in Calendar
Well Google added tasks to their online tools a few months back and now those tasks can be integrated with their calendar. I used to sync my Outlook calendar to Google – now I do not. With Exchange and OWA I can sync that all directly to my phone. I still use Google calendar because [...]
Office 2007 SP2
I really need to download it. It is supposed to improve the performance of Outlook and that can only be good for an Outlook Junkie.
