Tech tools in Hugh's Office.

Hugh, The Maze Master
Hugh's Reviews
Each week Hugh reviews something, anything really, that has provoked a thoughtful insight.

Tech Tools I use everyday.

Telephone headset.
If you make a lot of calls, I recommend a headset, not just for your cell phone, but for your office phone.

I love the freedom of movement, ability to type to take notes, and a can answer from up to 300ft away.

Dual monitors. At risk of branding myself a "Nerd", I love having dual monitors. Basically, you just hook two monitors up to your computer, then drag each program window to the monitor of your choice.

I keep email and my calendar open all day on my right monitor. That frees my main monitor focused on my current work. I use a 24" iMac and connected a 24" LCD monitor as the secondary monitor.

Aside from being a nerd, studies have shown dual monitors increases productivity by decreasing the amount of time spent switching between programs.

Google Apps.
Google is FREE. I now run my email service, document sharing, calendar, alerts, and more through Google. Total cost? About 2 hours of set-up once. Now? FREE.
