Even if you aren’t a fan of Ferriss’s approach and presentation, his interviewing skills are some of the best in the digital world of podcasting. Then Kelly and Ferriss agreed on something I hadn’t thought of, their phones are poor input devices. Then I relegated them to a folder on the very last screen of my phone.

The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. I once made the mistake of having my phone at one end of my desk to my computer screen so I had plenty of room around me, but obviously I couldn’t look anything up while I was on the phone. I wasn’t that silly for long!

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.

Good time management skills can help reduce confusion, stress, and even workload levels, so there are many benefits to making sure that time is well spent. Check: Are phone calls planned? For each one, write down what you hope to accomplish with the phone call to help you stay focused. Check: How much time is spent on e-mail?

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.
