How Can Technology Help Me Stay Organized?

Everyone ask the question on how can technology help me stay organized?  There have been many of time I have gone to the same office everyone uses "Starbucks" and I have seen people with big briefcases and a bag.  Why carry all of this STUFF?

All of you files can be scanned and kept electronic, iPad/Tablets are being used today for taking notes (you can record, type, or use a stylus to write.  All of these options and more are available for every small business to make life easy.  There are tons of websites and devices t use.  I am bias.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Samsung Epic phone.  I use it for my calendar (Google), take notes, taking payments, email, etc...  I also have a tablet so if I am meeting with a Client I need my laptop, but do not want to carry it.  I can send any file to my Galaxy Tablet (via bluetooth, email, or plug into my laptop).  I event have folders set up on my tablet so I can find files quickly.  When I am talking to my Clients it takes me no time to bring up a file and show a slide show.

Now ask yourself the question:
 "How Can Technology Help Me?"

How can I store my Files?

Everyone uses a computer now, but we never back up our files like we should.  There are so many storage devices on the market.

What do I use?
How do I know this is for me?
How often should I back up?

These are the questions that you are asking yourself and sometimes others.  The best way to figure this out is look at what you do.  Do you have a lot of basic files, graphics, both, etc....?  Once you figure this out you can determine your storage space.  For some a Flash Drive is perfect for some and there are also the portable hard drives that are thin enough to put in a purse or computer bag.

If you want to be able to get to your files at any time regardless if you have your laptop or your storage device.  There are a lot of on-line services that are also avaialble.  I use "DropBox".  This is online and you can get to your files at any time any where.  Just log on to your account and you will see all of your files.
