Once Gone,
It has been Stolen Forever

Guest Post by Mike Wesley

What is the one thing that nobody has more of than anyone else? Time, We all have the same 24 hours in a given day. The real question is what do we do with our 24?Use this commodity wisely, we thrive, use it foolishly, and we can only feel overwhelmed and unproductive. So the question that came across the Twitter Feed from @DrWright1 was, “What do you use to save time in your busy day?”
 My answer was simple. “Teach others to answer their own questions.”  Yes this sounds simple enough, but is it really? In a very busy day, quick questions and small interruptions end up to be quite large distractions through the day. We are working on something and place that aside to answer a seemingly innocent question. What ends up happening is you think you took the five minutes to provide a short and accurate solution. That 5 minutes really turns out to be 10 by the time you get back on the previous task. Then 15 minutes later you get an email, an IM or a phone call from the same person only to ask another question.

 

Folks this can really landslide on you if you do not grab it by the horns and straighten it out now.  Sure my solution is not easy, and no it may not save you time today, but the good news is, invest the time now and it will pay off in more productivity and who knows, possibly “Free Time” in the future.
Even just six 10 minute distractions through the day add up to one hour. Our hour that has been stolen from you. One hour that you will never get back. So please use your time wisely.
 Here is what to do: Take the time now and teach people who ask you questions to answer their own questions.  When someone asks you to fix something, take the extra time now and show them how they could fix the problem themselves. It will pay off. I am not sure if you know this but almost any question can be answered very simply using one very easy tool, “Google”. Yes Google can answer almost any question you have, don’t be afraid to use it yourself, and this is the time saver, “Do not be afraid to tell others to use it.”
Assume someone sakes you a question tomorrow. This is your new one word answer. “Google” Seriously they really can answer their own questions. Now if it is your boss asking you how long it is going to take you to finish the current project, I don’t suggest you say “Google”, but a question about how to spellchecker in Word, you can just say it.
The point is the more you teach the people around you to answer their own questions the more time you have to answer your own.
Take the time to show others and you may find yourself with more time than you know what to do with?

Why You Should Use A Free Time Tracking App

Why You Should Use A Free Time Tracking App

If you are anything like most employers, it is important that you are aware of the number of hours worked by each worker. One way to achieve this would be to use a free time tracking app. Here are several reasons that this would be a wise choice.

One thing that employers cannot stand is trying to decide how to schedule employees. This is the case when schedules are variable and can change wildly from week to week. Not only is it hard to create a schedule, but it can be difficult to remember and keep track of the hours each person is supposed to be on task. A time tracking app can make this much simpler. You can select a schedule with ease, then look at it as the week progresses to ensure everything is going smoothly.

It is very commonplace for workers to leave shortly before they are scheduled to. If someone has a habit of putting in their end time as a bit later than it should be, an app can help you catch this. For example, if you see that an employee had consistently logged in at 4:45 pm to put their time and they are scheduled to leave at 5:00 pm, you can ask why this is. Perhaps they are trying to fudge the system and get credit for hours not worked, or maybe it is something harmless. Either way, the software will help you figure things out.

When you run a business, it is important to get the most out of each minute of your time. Every minute wasted is time that could have been spent doing something far more productive. It is a good idea to get an app to track time for this reason. You will no longer have to run around the office asking why timesheets have yet to be submitted. It can all be as simple as setting a reminder to employees when they haven’t done it yet and logging in to approve everything once they have completed the task.

Whether you believe it or not, there are some employers who use these apps to check their own time. Imagine a world where you can use every minute of your time wisely. There will be no more wasted moments and times when you were twiddling your thumbs and you could have been doing something else. When you are the boss, it can be hard to stay on task. Using an app can certainly help you with this. The best thing is the fact that a free app can actually help you make more money.

Instead of sitting there wondering if this type of app is truly as great as you are being told, you should try it out for yourself. Since there will be no cost to you, it is not like you have anything to lose. Once you start using time tracking software, the only regret you will have is that you did not try it sooner.

Big corporations, small companies, and even universities need to promote their brands or names from time to time, so that people will be familiar with what they sell, trade, or offer. Common advertising strategies use pamphlets, pins, stickers, magnets and many other materials to promote the names of companies, but one of the most effective promotional tools that are being used are cheap printed pens.

Writing has always been a part of our lives. Since we started doodling when we were still young until we began scribbling our first letters, pens, pencils, or any other writing materials have been with us through the years. No matter how modern technology is, writing will never be out of style. This is one great reason why using cheap printed pens are going to be effective and practical as promotional materials. We use pens practically every day – from children to adults, and from students to professionals.

Promotional tools can be successful depending on the usefulness of the materials given out. People tend to remember more the companies, corporations or universities because they can actually make use of the promotional items given to them. This is another reason why cheap printed pens are great promotional materials. Other than being useful and functional, pens are also conveniently small so people will not have second thoughts when you hand them your promotional items. Some materials that are handed out to people oftentimes end up in the trash or even ignored by passersby. For example are pamphlets or leaflets. Cheap printed pens won’t definitely be thrown away because everybody needs a pen. It’s definitely something that you should always have with you either in your pocket or in your bag.

Cheap printed pens are very convenient and practical when you don’t want to cough up a lot of money but at the same time still be sure that your advertising materials are effective and efficient. You can buy these things in large quantities, and another good advantage is that you could choose from a lot of different colours and designs that could cater to your companies’ needs. You could choose from gel pens, rollerball pens and ballpoint pens in different shades and styles.

Cheap printed pens can help you make your corporation be well-known to a lot of people. They are great promotional tools and as marketing research statistics say, the most effective and one of the most useful items to hand out to people.
