<p><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2007/11/28/5-useful-blackberry-tips-and-tricks-to-boost-your-productivity/"><strong>5 Useful Blackberry Tips and Tricks to Boost Your Productivity</strong></a></p>
<p>If you have a Blackberry, chances are you picked it up, and started emailing right away. Did you know, there are several time-saving features built in, and several tricks you can do to make your Blackberry even more useful? Here are 5 of my favorites…</p>
<p><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2008/01/26/10-tips-for-getting-organized-with-to-do-lists/"><strong>10 Tips for Getting Organized with To Do Lists</strong></a></p>
<p>Getting organized — and staying organized — can help you get things done, feel more fulfilled, and clear your mind for more creative thought! A cornerstone of every organization “system” are to do lists.</p>
<p><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/10-tips-to-improve-your-voicemails/"><strong>10 Tips to Improve Your Voicemails</strong></a></p>
<p>Voicemail is one of the most frequently used communication tools within an organization. And, it seems that the more senior the person you are communicating with is within your organization, the more likely they will favor voicemail over email.  Here are 10 tried-and-true tips to improve your voicemails.</p>
<p><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/top-5-characteristics-of-effective-work-relationships/" target="_self"><strong>Top 5 Characteristics of Effective Work Relationships</strong></a></p>
<p>Effortlessly working with your peers is one of the things that is so hard for many to attain, yet so easy to take for granted. In this post, I’ll discuss my top 5 characteristics for effective relationships at work.</p>
<p><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2007/10/05/get-control-of-your-email-part-i/"><strong>Get Control of Your Email &#8211; Email Management: Part I</strong></a><strong>,</strong> <strong><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/get-control-of-your-email-part-ii/">Part II</a>, and <a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2007/10/19/get-control-of-your-email-part-iii/">Part III</a></strong></p>
<p>Email. We all have it. We rely on it, and sometimes, we can’t get away from it.  Overflowing Inboxes cause us stress. Trying to find an email causes stress. Wondering if you replied to all of the emails you need to causes stress.  Today, that stress goes away!</p>
<p><a href="http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/2008/03/22/6-blackberry-tips-for-reading-emails/"><strong>6 Blackberry Tips for Reading Emails</strong></a></p>
<p>Did you know you can use the keyboard to read Blackberry email? Here are my favorite keyboard shortcuts, especially useful when only one hand is free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The following &#8220;I promise&#8230;&#8221; statements were sent to me by a colleague some time ago. I find this quote to be a very valuable read from time-to-time.</h3>
<h3>• I promise to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.<br />
• I promise to talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.<br />
• I promise to make all of my friends feel that there is something in them.<br />
• I promise to look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.<br />
• I promise to think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.<br />
• I promise to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.<br />
• I promise to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.<br />
• I promise to wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature I meet a smile.<br />
• I promise to give so much time to the improvement of myself that I have no time to criticize others.<br />
• I promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the persistence of trouble.<br />
• I promise to think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.<br />
• I promise to live in faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.</h3>
