Most of you know from my previous posts that I recently lost my dear father after a 7 month battle with cancer. Dad’s illness and death definitely had an impact on my work which you may have noticed from time to time if you have been following this blog for a while, but it has been my great privilege to help support my parents through this difficult time and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. However, one thing I learned from my father was his work ethic and lately I have been hearing his voice inside my head telling me to get back on track. I’ve placed the Marine Bull Dog that my sons gave Daddy on top of my computer armoire to stare down at me and make sure I stay on track just as Daddy did (see picture). Soooo, I’m going to take this opportunity to show you how I’ve used Outlook to help me jump back in and of course this post is dedicated to my daddy who is likely up there shouting at me “its about time!”

Tonight we lost my dear sweet Daddy Charles Hibbler. Thanks again to all of you who sent your prayers and good thoughts our way. I am more determined than ever to accomplish my goals because I know that is what my father would have wanted. In the mean time, the picture of my father below was taken by my brother about 3 weeks ago.

And thanks so much to all of you who have sent your prayers and good wishes for my father and our family - they mean so much!

In this Arrow-Tip I will be discussing how I’ve used the Outlook Calendar to help me achieve my goals and I’ll give you a quick update on progress toward my May goals discussed in Arrow-Tip #26
This week, the Outlook Calendar was definitely my friend. Because I’ve over booked myself, getting all of my hours in was a real challenge and I had to dip into a few evenings and then my weekend for an emergency non billable issue that came up. Read More

There have been a plethora of blog posts regarding Twitter.com that have come to my attention over the past few months - I’ve even written a couple. Everyone seems to be feeling their way around the Twitter world and wondering how to get the most value without being sucked into the time wasting vortex. Do I think Twitter can be a time waster - absolutely, but do I think it has to be - absolutely not.
