The user can type their notes using the iPad keyboard, add photos, import and annotate PDFs, organise pages and tag each notebook. Again it is a digital notebook but it also has an automated To-Do organiser which syncs with calendars and address books. About 10 years ago I used to manage 12 Committees as part of my role at the time.

A few weeks ago I ordered my new MacBook Pro and I wanted a German keyboard, of cause I could not order a German keyboard, you can order a French keyboard? This time a friendly guy in my Apple Store told me I could pay $200/£100 extra and they would change the keyboard in store for me. You want a little more.

Going into a cave to escape isn’t the answer, though. I have discovered that by keeping my hands on those knitting needles (and off of the keyboard) and looking around to see what I have to share with others through my area Freecycle group, I can experience that oh-so-good feeling of fulfillment and wealth. Happy Holidays!

My boss likes me to print his weekly calendar on Monday so he can see at a glance what he has for the week so I clip that to the front of the folder. I then print his daily calendar and slip that in the left pocket of the folder and on the right side I put everything he will need for the day. I do this for each day of the week.

To set a recurring 9-5 meeting (as opposed to clicking all-day meeting) I dont like the all-day meeting settings as they are out of sight at the top of the calendar and easily missed. His calendar then shows blocked time and nobody misses seeing that he is away. Your bosses calendar will now show Monday to Wednesday blocked from 9-5.

If that is not happening, schedule yourself in their calendar. Keep up to date on their calendar and look ahead to see what is coming up and what your boss might need to prepare for that. Put reminders in their Tasks or Calendar of anything you know is coming up with enough lead time so they will have time to complete it.
