I Need a....

Technology is great - my typing gets me by, but I miss some of the old-fashioned ways of doing things. So I thought you might enjoy my 15 'must haves' for a great working day; 8 old-fashioned ones and 7 techy ones.

1. My mug - great coffee with fresh milk (not cream) - why have plastic coffee when fresh coffee in a china mug tastes so much better and you get double the quantity of a plastic cup!

2. My radio with digital tuning to get me onto the station that suits my mood.

3.  A notepad made with good quality paper - A5 suits me best.

4. A smooth writing pen - actually a propelling pencil is my favorite - writing is such a pleasure with good tools!

5. Post It notes. Just how many times can you move them? Different colours too making planning so much easier - Post It planning - just brilliant!

6. Flip charts, rolls of wallpaper, A2 & A3 sheets, in fact anything to write on, draw on or stick to

7. BluTack - not just to stick things onto the wall but to fiddle with too!

8. Coloured pens - for mind mapping, planning charts and red for editing of course!

Now my techy bits..

1. My Alfa Guiletta - pure pleasure driving with fabulous style too

2. i-phone and ipad, naturally...

3. Sky Caddie for the golf course. At least I know just how far off-line I am with this gadget!

4. Kindle, especially in the sunshine!

5. Dropbox - access 24/7 worldwide - who wouldn't want this

6. Dragon Dictation - but this could be superseded if I could find something to scan my writing and convert it into text. Suggestions welcome!

7. Gareth, my web guy - for some things you just need a person.....

What makes your day?
