What are your productivity tricks, tips, and apps?
-Doug-:
So my goal for this year is to be more productive at my work. Not necessarily produce more, but do it more efficiently and effectively. To that end, I have been reading up on productivity.
What tips, "tricks", or apps do you use to make your work life better. Pleas share them so that we can all do what we do better.
I'll start...I take all of my work notes in Evernote. I am trying to cut down on paper to decrease my desk clutter.
Frontier Guy:
Similarly ... I request electronic files (docs, PDFs, etc.) for everything possible.
Anything which still comes in on paper I scan and discard.
And I have a small pile (of a much larger pile) of paperwork from "years gone by" which I review and scan/discard whenever I have a few idle moments.
This is my year to get rid of physical accumulations.

I like conciseness. A lot of my communications are via e-mail so I strive for five sentences or less when I am emailing. My reasons are two-fold. First, if I can't get my point across clearly in paragraph, then I need to rethink what I am trying to say. Second, with most people being able to access their communications on a mobile device, I try to keep the communication to a length that can be easily read on it.
If I need to say more than a paragraph's worth of thoughts, I consider a phone call or face-to-face meeting.

I think that's awesome, FG. I have slowly been chipping away at the paper piles too. I have a full 4 drawer file cabinet with 3/4 of that being medical documents!!! Ugh.
