Tablet Afterthoughts

I will be returning periodically to review this adventure I have embraced with the new E- Ink technology of my Boox Note Air 2 Plus tablet.

I am finding ways to make myself more efficient. The last 6 weeks I am totally off my MS Surfacebook for meetings. This tablet is providing 99 % of what I need to document and access what I need to make more productive during the meetings and I am hauling around a lot less equipment.

Now I have spent some time to really think about how I can make myself more efficient. One of those steps was to move back to one of my favorite APPS, One Note.

For our weekly meetings, this allows to create agenda to follow and quickly share that info our big screens and have people add to the documentation of the meeting live that we can all add to. As everyone gets more involved this will only get better. It shows what has made impression what need to follow up .

One of the new things that I doing is to add back some of the other meeting notes that I am taking. with vendors so that I can share them with others well put them in context with

what I am doing on a daily basis.

The capture and sharing of this information is an important part of business week.

Capturing and sharing of data is hard to accomplish effectively.

By the way, this article was completely written on my Boox Air Note 2 Plus.

Boox Note 2 Plus-New Morning Routine

I had stopped bringing home my notebook quite a while ago so accessing information before leaving the house to go to the office had become very cumbersome. Now with my new Boox Note 2 Plus, I have been able to reestablish some of the routines that used to do when I had a working tablet computer in my hands.

I still like the android access to Outlook on my phone better than the town with even though they are very similar. Having color is that of just a black-and-white image is positive in this case. It’s also easier to differentiate what I’ve read an email not on the phone compared to reading it on the Note 2 Plus.

As I stated in an earlier article my primary notetaking application has become the Office 365 OneNote application. My main use for the OneNote application is daily task management and uses it throughout the day to keep track of what I need to do as well as what I have done. This makes it a very easy method for documenting things that I need to enter our ticketing program to support our customers. In conjunction with my workstation running the OneNote application I can easily move a task from one day to another as needed. I come here second because I will take any requests that come in through email and add them to my task list for the day at this time.

I like reading the newspaper digitally rather than the actual paper newspaper that my wife gets so I scan the paper for any new and interesting topics I need to be aware of in local, state, national and of course sports.

The last thing that I access is a program that consolidates my RSS feeds into a quick listing that I can grab for later reading. The program I use is called Feedly. And I capture those articles I want to read at a later time with a program called GetPocket. The thing I like about GetPocket is that it strips out all the advertising from the webpages makes it much easier to read. I can then share that information if I need to with other people through social media or emailing them the link to the article itself.

And that’s my daily routine that is changed because of this new device.
