In recent conversations with friends and clients about blackberries and i-phones and the like, I have decided that work has taken over my life. I am, as the addicts say, powerless. But I do have to say my blackberry continues to make my consulting life easier.
Now I send myself emails as reminders, I use my outlook inbox as a to do list; I can send meeting agreements moments after leaving a meeting, and photographs of whiteboard conversations or notes from my notebook before the client even gets back to their desk.
Plus I can travel anywhere in the world (maybe not Kyrgyzstan, but at least the USA, SE Asia and Europe), and still get my emails.
I can check them while waiting in line at the bank (which I avoid like the plague), or in line at the Eiffel Tower (which I have indeed done).
So I quite liked this article called "Confessions of an unrepentant Blackberry addict".
How do you manage your busy life?
