OK so I have a new gadget, and I love it.
Very new, first use today actually, but I'm already hooked.
I bought a bluetooth wireless headset. As far as my accountant is concerned it's a headset for purposes of freeing up my hands to type while I'm on the phone (but actually initially it was for walking without jiggling cords and juggling calls and listening to music in the bath... but well, let's just keep that between us - ok?).
Here's why I love it... I don't know about you but as soon as I walk away from the desk without my phone in hand it rings. If I take it with me - deadly silence - but without the phone it's a mad dash back before voicemail kicks in.
And sometimes its plain inconvenient to take the phone - remember I'm working from home with kids, sometimes I'm working in conditions not conducive to having a phone fall out of your pocket - think water / paint / bending down / almost anywhere!
Enter headset - aha! I've got you now, press a button and the call is answered, which (if you know me) makes my determination to avoid paper & record everything electronically so much simpler. And it has excellent range too - going to check the mail shortly which will test exactly how good that range is.
For those that are thinking I look like a geek, well yes I probably do, but refer above - if working from home is supposed to mean you can work in your PJ's (and I refuse to do that) then surely a headset is a non-issue?
Gadget junky, yes - guilty as charged - but this one is a business MUST!
What's your favourite gadget, for purely business purposes of course?
