- How to Use Both For Optimal Professional & Personal Productivity (guest post by Meggin McIntosh) A question that often comes up in workshops as well as on my blog is this one: How do you suggest people use their calendar (planner) in conjunction with the tickler (1-31) files? What are your thoughts in this area?

I use both TweetDeck (on desktop, laptop, and iPad) and MarketMeSuite, as well as Twitter's own interface. Since I work at home (and because we're full-time RVers, always on the road), I need to be able to fax/copy/convert from anywhere. Using phone or fax, with time changes and all the challenges involved was awful.
