Do you have a smart phone? If so – you get this. If not – you will – soon enough.
Here are 5 ways a smart phone can change your life…
- You are much more productive from a personal standpoint. You no longer miss important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries. All of those appointments with the dentist and chiropractor are scheduled with lots of lead time and alarms. Every phone number you could ever imagine is at your fingertips. You are way too connected to FaceBook and Twitter.
- You are much more productive from a career and business standpoint. Schedules are a piece of cake. You even use your phone for scanning important documents – then emailing them to your biggest client. You are engaged and respond at lightening speed compared to your competitors. You never miss that important opportunity.
- You are better informed. You are the person that lets everyone else know when there is a traffic jam on the interstate – in real time. You know exactly what the financial markets are doing – in real time. Big news story breaks? You are all over it. Competitors? You know more about what’s going on with them than they do. Tee time? You can make sure the weather is going to cooperate – you are a hero.
- You are better prepared. There is nothing worse than someone coming into a meeting that isn’t prepared – if you own a smart phone this should never happen. GPS whether you are hiking, walking, driving, cycling, or flying on a commercial jet – you always know your ETA. When you have information at your finger tips – you are always better prepared than the next person.
- You can unwind and relax more often. Standing on the fairway – use that GPS and iPhone App to decide which iron to use. Early for an appointment? No problem anymore – catch up on your favorite game while you wait – or read some of your favorite book. Riding in a cab or sitting at the airport – chill out and browse your FaceBook and Twitter accounts – have a little down time from real work.
Don’t have one yet? Get one. It’s worth whatever you pay – and then some.

I must admit, I am hooked on my smartphone. And I’m pretty sure it makes me a more productive (or at least efficient) person.
Having said that, I probably waste a lot more time now playing with the phone when I could be doing other things. Swings and roundabouts…
Interesting point of view! So far, I’ve only really thought about the ways in which my smartphone reduces productivity (games, et cetera) and prevents me from unwinding (my email seems to beg checking). But I agree, it has the potential to make life much easier. As with most technology, I guess it all depends on how we use it.
Yes many people are looking to work smart say flexible working then certainly comes into the mind the use of smart phones. And these tools are bringing the information at your fingertips and helping us many ways without missing important deals. For me, they are the best use for information sharing and for faster communication.
