Article 1: Use Gadgets
No matter what task you’re doing at the moment, there’s probably a gadget or gizmo to help you do it faster. See if using some of these could put more minutes in your workday:
Postage meter
Putting a postage meter on your desk saves trips to the post office for mailing packages or buying stamps. Check out the Pitney Bowes Personal Post, designed especially for small businesses. Telephone headset
Take calls, make calls and keep your hands free for other tasks. There are wireless headsets that replace your existing phone; headsets that work with your corded phone; and headsets that work with your cordless telephone. Compare your options at www.headsets.com. B-card scanner
If you gather piles of business cards for contacts, CardScan is a must-have. This business card reader lets you scan cards into your computer. From there, you can manipulate contact information into groups to create mailing lists of customers and prospects. It sells for about $200. Find out more from Corex Technologies, www.corex.com/cardscan. Label printer
The Dymo LabelWriter prints labels for shipping, mailing, CD/DVD and filing products. It even prints Internet postage. The little machine connects to your computer’s USB or serial port and is compatible with PC or Mac. The direct thermal print technology eliminates ribbons, toner and ink cartridges. You can choose between three versions of Dymo, depending upon the size of labels you need to print. Street prices range from $130 to $200. Get more information at www.dymo.com. Multifunction machine
Get an all-in-one machine that handles the jobs of printing, scanning, copying and faxing. Place it within arm’s reach. You’ll save time because you won’t be jumping out of your chair to go to the fax or copy machines. You’ll save desktop space too.
