ZAGGsparq 2.0 Portable Battery Charger Travel USB Review

by Tazim Damji

sparq

After a long flight or drive, the first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is to take out all of my devices and start plugging them in to be charged. Of course, with limited plugs available at most hotels, it's always a struggle to figure out which items I'll need to prioritize charging. Does this happen to you, too? I usually end up choosing to plug in my laptop because I can't use it on its own, but that leaves my phone, camera, iPad and e-book reader vulnerable to being without battery ...

by Tazim Damji

before office

We are approaching mid-summer and I always find that this is a good time to review of few things in the office so that I can ramp up in the fall.  On a quiet Friday afternoon, take the time to review what is working and what is not: are there piles of papers stacked on your desk…on a cabinet or maybe on the floor? Have you let all those samples pile up in the corner? Look on your computer’s desktop: do you have random files just floating around? Or did you download the pictures from your phone ...

Office Candy Organizing Suggestions {Guest Post}

Some of my favorite Office Tips: If you find yourself being taken off task because you hear a warning that an email has arrived into your Inbox, just shut that alert off and check them at your convenience instead. If you have forms that need to be filled out frequently (such as Insurance Claim Forms) fill out one per family member and place it in a plastic sleeve. Make copies from that Master form and don’t use it for anything else and you’ll never be without the form when you need ...
