So much of our day involves inter-
acting with technology, and so few of us
utilize technology as effectively as we
should. I love to uncover better ways of
doing things, many of which are fun as
well as useful. I'm thankful to have a
team of people who are always sharing
ideas with me as well.
I have been presenting a seminar on
this topic and have heard from many
people how useful the tips are to them.
This article can’t demonstrate the tech-
nology, but it is a collection of the best
tips. Use these tips to make yourself
more productive while having a little
more fun too.
Password Manager
It is more important than ever to use
unique and complex passwords for secure
access sites, which unfortunately also
makes them difficult to remember and
key in.With a password manager, you
remember one password and the pass-
word manager remembers your passwords
for you. Your “master password” is the
only password you need to remember. I
recommend writing down a part of your
master password on a card and securing it
somewhere safe. Make sure it is complex
as well (numbers, letters and symbols).
For example, if your master password is
“PPAIExpo2016,” write down P _ _ IE_
_O2_ _6 which will help jog your memo-
ry. Store that card (without any other
note) someplace safe near your computer.

IME IS OUR MOST PRECIOUS
and limited
resource. We never have enough time for all the
things we want to do, and that includes learning.
Yet, when we take a moment to improve our productivity, we
can gain significant time.
