Long absence - but I'm back

After a long absence I think I'm back to jotting down some loose 'credit risk' musings and general thoughts on work

My first observation is that the absence from this blog was caused by an imbalance in my work:life balance

Too much focus upon work put me into a poor place personally. Very little attention paid to Personal or Health areas within my life meant that, unsurprisingly, I'd not accomplished some unconscious goals and this was frustrating me

See this link for a reference that has help me become motivated again to address some of my personal and family goals

As such. I shall be using this blog (and a second less business focused blog) to keep focus upon my progress in the following business areas:

• Workflow : GTD and the positive influence this approach has upon business areas that are poorly performing
• Networking: Not my strongest area professionally. But an area I've decided to focus upon. I will be tracking approaches, thoughts and successes / failures here

I plan to update this blog weekly on progress in these areas and will post a proposed outline in the next few days

iPad

And add an iPad with Citrix link to the mix...

.. I'm sorted

MacBook Pro

Now that my Citrix Fob to work is working my MBP is becoming ridiculously useful!

With Googlemail and iPhone I now have an all in one solution for work and home

Googlemail handles my Calendar (and iCal now syncs)

Google also has my contacts

Mindjet is my online mind mapper of choice

Evernote manages my notes

Dropbox allows me to sync the odd file

Just a pity that my work email isn't Office 2007 (2003 is nowhere near as good for GTD)

TTC

Dug out a few paper from 05/06 referencing TTC
Very interesting to re read these now given the experience we have in
08/09

iPhone

Sunday afternoon playing with my new iPhone I've found a way to be
even more geeky

Blog created because I saw that Google now owns Blogger too. I'll take a look around and decide if it's something I'll want to use
