Just from what I do on a daily basis, I realize how lucky I am that I'm so organized, because hardly anything I do is integrated. Anything from meeting notes to post-its on my desk would make it really hard for someone to have a smooth transition to my job. I'm even more impressed that they're taking the intiative and using the tools to do this instead of always passing it onto some poor schlup (secretary) to do it for them. Seems like a waste of productivity and labor costs in that respect. The ability to control massive amounts of email into a sort of to-do list is definitely one of the biggest difficulties I think employees here face. It's not uncommon for someone to have 200 emails in their inbox--many that go unanswered. Personally, I freak out when I have more than 20. What I'm wondering is how expensive it is to have these tools? All I can say is that, as an overglorified secretary myself, I could really use that OneNote thing. Actually, there are a few people here I'd like to give it to. Wow, I’m impressed by this.
