Think you can successfully study the details of a report while talking on the phone and reading your horoscope? So hang up the phone, find a quiet place and focus. Put pen to paper (or finger tips to keyboard) and record important dates in a calendar, notebook or on your mobile device. Stay organized. Get hooked on mnemonics.

Sometimes I wish I had something to warn me when I am with someone with a cell phone so I can know that we are going to be interrupted. I find it frustrating when people either text while in a conversation or are constantly taking phone calls. Apparently not, when its by phone. In an emergency, the cell phone is a useful tool.

I wrote the article The Art of Minute Taking and I had only taken minutes a few times about 25 years ago. From writing that article I had confidence to take a job that required me taking minutes and it has turned out fine. I have written many articles on my blog on subjects that I knew nothing about. How did I do it?

Back then, any technical problem that I had -- phone, computer, palm pilot (remember, there weren't smart phones back then.), I even do everything listed in this great article. However, when I went to finish what I was doing, I realized that only part of my keyboard was working. Do you have a 1400?

When you chat, they can't hear your voice, when you are on the phone, they can't see you, etc. Phone (providing value) 4. What do you do to build relationships beyond the keyboard?  You have to escalate the conversation and "transfer" that relationship into a different medium. Email (build trust) 3.

Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province. I chose details and was given the street address and phone number and I still had the option of having my call put through to the store number. You can use google to get similar information.

The cure: always answer the phone professionally - this way youre never caught off-guard.

An e-mail like the one I received would have been better delivered face to face or by phone in order to get the tone of what the person was trying to communicate. I stop the flow and pick up the phone. It is amazing how quickly a matter can be handled on the phone or in person. Hi Patricia: What a great article this is.
