Similarly I have a large A4 desk pad next to my keyboard for any quick notes I need to make, things to remember (like phone numbers for instance), and tasks people give me at my desk.

Apparently MotoBlur doesn’t allow you to change your name or any personal information either on the device or on their website. Typing addresses is easy with both the on-screen and the slide-out keyboard. How absurd is that? It was inconvenient at the time, but I thought very little of it.

Despite being well written, the information was dangerously misleading and in several areas, false. Many people out there have learned their lessons the hard way, assuming that because it’s for sale, it must be accurate information. Good, valuable information should never be underestimated.

My favourite to-do list is a calendar timeline so I can see at a glance where I am at and what I need to do to get there. It is simply using an on-line calendar with space on each day to enter what needs to be done. To generate a calendar in Word 2007, click on the Office Button (in the top left-hand corner).

To set a recurring 9-5 meeting (as opposed to clicking all-day meeting) I dont like the all-day meeting settings as they are out of sight at the top of the calendar and easily missed. His calendar then shows blocked time and nobody misses seeing that he is away. Your bosses calendar will now show Monday to Wednesday blocked from 9-5.
