Speed up your business life.
There are lists over lists what you can do to speed up and/or improve your business life. I’m sharing with you what had the best effects lately for me:
- Skype more. Saves telephone costs, works face to face with your computer, looks professional (but make sure to choose the right user name for each work field).
- Use Bloglines or something similar for your RSS feeds. Though I actually have a lot more websites on the list than I surfed before, I spend less time on them, because it’s so much quicker to filter the contents and read only the articles that interest me.
- Use more filters in your mail program. While I’m not an “Inbox Zero” addict, it does help to unclutter the main inbox by filtering mails into relevant folders. It also makes it easier to find posts again later.
- Concentrate on a few business portals. It’s a pain in the ass to update your data when it’s shuffled around in the Internet. Therefore, pick a few favorite places where you keep your information up-to-date and point interested parties to those places.
