Find Time with YOUR Favorite Tools on Cyber Monday

Posted on December 28, 2009, under Time and Technology.

Finding time for what matters most involves making frequent choices about priorities. Since our time is limited and our options are not, there is always choice involved as we move through our days.

If you spend time on-line (either for business or for exploring the internet and networking with friends and family) you know that there are lots of efficiencies to be had. Daily, it seems, new tools and applications are being offered up – many of them free.

There are better and faster ways to Tweet, for example, and plugins for your blog that will do all sorts of nifty things. There are applications to integrate your social networking sites, and hundreds of dashboards and iPhone tools and … you name it. It’s like walking into a huge cafeteria of software applications – the choices are tempting … and endless.

If you are not a reviewer of social media applications, then my advice to you is to certainly explore new tools as you have the time and inclination. However, more important than exploring is settling on one, two or three that you are comfortable with and using them more or less exclusively. Learn their in’s and out’s in depth, and practice ’til you know them like the proverbial back of your hand!

You lose efficiency if you are constantly searching for the best application (and therefore never really becoming familiar with any single one). Consider: A less-than-state-of-the-art Twitter application or dashboard that you know well will serve you better than constantly changing over to the newest and/or best.

In addition, the more popular applications and dashboards are usually tweaked and upgraded as time goes on and these tools evolve. So you can probably count on your tried and true dashboard to keep up with the times (rather than your needing to jump ship and go to something newer).

How do you look for efficiencies on the web? Do you look for the latest, or work on becoming more adept with the tools at hand? Some combination of the two? I’d love to hear!
