It was pointed out to me by a reader via email that I haven’t really kept you all in the loop with my Xobni saga… So this brief post will hopefully get you all up to speed and give you some insight of what I am working through and still hope to get resolved. Unfortunately, [...]

You know I am always looking for productivity tips and tricks, particularly in the area of email since I am literally inundated with hundreds of them a day.  In the area of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) – 43 Folders shares their 5 tips.   Elegantly simple yet absolutely right on track…  I can honestly say [...]

In this day and age of email overload I find that I am having to contribute to the overload because individuals that I have exchange email or telephone calls with have committed to do something that invariably it gets buried in their hundreds if not thousands of email.

This is the first in a series of a few articles that I will be sharing on little tips and tricks in Microsoft Excel that I have accumulated or built over the last few months.  I’ve incorporated most of these into an Excel workbook or two to meet my specific needs.  I’m not really a [...]
