As weekly event schedules came out, I could plan and enter tasks or work assignments into the task lists with shifts (priorities) and dates to be completed. Then I could print out each shift's work assignments and post them for the week. As an event setup changed or other assignments needed to be added, it was a simple matter of adding a new task, giving it a priority and date and then reprinting that shift’s list of tasks. This was very fast compared to the old hand written paper method with the added benefit that I had everything on my computer and with me in my shirt pocket – at work or at home.
In my planning sessions, I began to notice that some of the work assignments were similar in nature and other assignments needed to be organized so they were similar. This gave the tasks and procedures a routine that improved our performance and efficiency. These routine and similar tasks were defined in my “notes” feature and then copied and pasted into the "to do” list, thus giving the better process and organization to the tasks.
Another improvement that came along was the portable keyboard. I purchased this accessory and found that I became as effective in entering my data into my Palm Pilot
as I was entering it into my computer. This keyboard was even the same size as my computer keyboard only folded up into a compact size – approximately the same size as the Palm Pilot
. This was yet another very portable and a very productive addition to my personal organization. With two dress shirt pocket sized devices, I had a small portable computer readily at my disposal.
