As I used my new electronic organizer and personal digital assistant, the Palm Pilot, I became much more effective personally and the crews that I managed increased their productivity. I learned to use this portable electronic organizer, and I started to push its limits of storage. Palm soon offered a memory upgrade and I took full advantage of it.
A word about the industry I was working in .... I managed the facility services and expo services for a very large complex that included an arena, convention center and an off premise theater. This facility was attached to a hotel and indoor mall with a small park outside. The events and activities in this multi-use complex needed up to five crews and up to fifty employees to keep up the with servicing, setting up and striking the heavy event load.
One of the features that really received the heavy use of my personal digital assistant as far as facility services and expo departments were concerned, was the "task" or "to do" lists. This feature had fifteen different task categories with five levels of priorities within each category. Each task could be assigned a date and a priority. Because of these attributes, I could assign each department a category, and within each department, the priority could represent shifts. I usually had up to four shifts per day and sometimes five. These shifts were not always the three shifts that went through the twenty four hours of the day, but often they over lapped each other.
