The most important tools I use:

This is my digital world.My digital lifestyle:I am not bound by physical limitations. I do not have to dress up to work. I do not have to travel against the traffic to deliver. I do not have to be present to produce. I can distill my experiences and my best practices into patterns recognized and reproducible by my computer at the speed of light. Online, so I am.

My digital motto: Let the electrons do the work.

Time intensified!

‘Time intensified’ means to me…….

Making the best use of available time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled

lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say.

Time (Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour)

Please complete the following sentence, be descriptive and clear in what it means to you and allows you to do…

In 10 years digital media and technology will allow me to market my unique combination of skill-sets to a wider audience at lower set-up and operating costs. I will also be able to engage and collaborate with partners from all over the world with their own unique capabilities to provide packaged best-of-breed solutions to those needing them.

Shared server facilities and specialized support service providers will allow professionals like me to set-up online offices with minimum hassle and a wide range of marketing channels, communication modes, collaboration setups, project management services, collection and clearance methods and networking communities far beyond the rudimentary services available in 2008.

Likewise, my customers will benefit from being able to subscribe to instantaneous solution packages to manage their businesses, their finances and their family lives.

Individual consumers, families, organizations, companies, professionals, politicians, artistes, writers who are my potential customers will be able to run their lives, their businesses, their projects, their campaigns, their road-shows from subway stations, cafes, beaches; and to connect with service providers like me anytime, anywhere.

Not having to allocate time on unproductive activities like being stuck in traffic jams, waiting for appointments, standing in queues frees up a substantial amount of my time improving my service offerings, attending to priority areas of my life and enjoying it all.

Consuming less fossil fuel and felling less trees for paper brings hope of survival to Mother Earth.

Digital media and technology in the future
