TECHNOLOGY
"Technology" is one of those buzzwords that just never seem to go
away. No matter how hard we try to
keep up with the times, something
newer, faster and better is always just
over the horizon. But like it or not,
advances in technology continue to
offer business solutions and enhance
our daily lives. Here are some tips on
how to use technology to increase
your productivity, both in the office
and on the go, and a report on tech
trends that are currently affecting
your business strategies.
TECH TIPS TO INCREASE
PRODUCTIVITY AT THE OFFICE
Improving productivity is
easier than you think. Here
we show you how to use
tech to reduce distractions
and stay productive
throughout the work day.
Track Your Emails
Firefox/Chrome users
can install an add-on that
seamlessly integrates with
Gmail for tracking. All you
need to do is click the
tracking button when you
send an email. Check out
Bananatag (bananatag.com)
and RightInbox (rightinbox.
com) - both let you
track when your mail was
opened as well as when
and how many times an
embedded link was clicked.
You can also track your
email by using free tracking
services like whoreadme.
com or getnotify.com that
require you to add a code
before sending. Once
the mail is opened, you
will get a notification mail
along with details like how
long the mail was read, IP
address and browser.
Force Yourself to
Take a Break
Windows users can
download and install
programs such as Eyeleo
(http://eyeleo. com) which
forces you to take a short
break every 10 minutes
along with suggestions
for eye exercises to help
reduce eye strain caused by
excessive use of computer
monitors. For long breaks,
it automatically dims your
screen and you can set
rules that lock the computer
down. Mac users can
get similar functionality
from apps such as Time
out Free and AntiRSI
(http://goo.gl/kFHLj).
There are also browserbased services like
protectyourvision.com
- you can choose to be
alerted about a 20-second
break every 20 minutes or a
five-minute break every hour.
Enhance Your Inbox
Swizzle (theswizzle.
com) makes it easy to
sort marketing mails
and streamline your
email inbox. It will show
