* Are You Listening?

Posted on April 22nd, 2009 by tim bursch. Filed under listen.

I joined a conversation by Liz Strauss on listening. It got me thinking.

I’ve had this belief that it takes work to pay attention. But then again, listening could be easier than I think.

Liz challenged me when she wrote, “When I was reading your comment, I kept thinking how I relax and feel generous whenever I’m really listening. It’s a gift to me too. If we remembered that, maybe we wouldn’t have to practice.”

Have you relaxed and listened lately? Speak up and I’ll kick back.

* Your own Google Command Center- Part 1

Posted on April 9th, 2009 by tim bursch. Filed under tech.

Do you have email on one platform, calendar on another, and save documents in yet another app? I used to. They’re all good, just all over the place. I am on my way to managing my digital life in one place. At least for now.

Keep reading for more on creating your own Google Command Center.

PART 1 - EMAIL
I have multiple e-mail accounts and it’s not easy to get to inbox zero. I would suggest aggregating all of your email into a service like Gmail. It is easy to set up and manage. You can label, sort, file, and search through all your mail. Handy. Also, with a new feature all of your sent mail will come from the correct e-mail account.
Once you have all of your emails in one place, be sure to make a signature and also label incoming e-mails for easy searching.

More tomorrow on Information Intake in your Google Command Center.
What do you think? Be heard.
