Wow, what a crazy week. I try so hard to stay caught up and often times, its just plain exhausting. But I have learned something in the last few months that I had to share. Sometimes technology tools can save you time and sometimes, they don't.
I signed up with Zoho which is an amazing company with amazing tools. In there I created a web based application to manage our open action items for the 2012 National Gift Basket Convention. Right now, we have over 200 action items. I'm able to classify them in all sort of ways, etc. But I realized that I was spending more time managing that tool then I was getting the AI's done. Back to Excel. Its faster, more convenient and I'm an excel WHIZ.
My confession here is that sometimes, doing what you know is the right thing to do. It's not that I'm afraid of technology, I'm just smart enough to realize that efficiency can mean using the basics.
