It may be that the speaker for the event can’t make it, or someone is out sick. Other times, I may need to speak about a job related subject, or something I’ve blogged about. While I usually have a lot of ideas flowing around in my head, they may not pertain to the subject matter of the meeting. So how do you put together a meaningful speech that pertains to the subject at hand? Here is a little secret… If you do your homework, you can create a wonderful speaker’s toolbox, and have it available at your fingertips right on your smart-phone. Here’s how to do it… 1.

The new iPad has been my constant companion for the last few weeks. It is a great machine for blogging, taking notes, and wonderful as a media consumption device. But with the addition of cameras, the iPad 2 is also a personal productivity bonanza. With the free download of the productivity software Evernote, this little powerhouse can now be a capture device. Evernote allows you to take notes and store them in the “cloud” and also store pictures. This is where the productivity increase comes from. I can now take pictures of meeting agendas, business cards, and a whole collection of sticky notes and save them online. Since Evernote can be installed on my regular PC, I can quickly access my saved notes and photos right on my desk. This not only improves productivit...

Because I have many diverse interests, I tend to write on a variety of different places on a bunch of different topics. Here are some of the places I’ve written recently. Lots of people strive to have “simple” solutions for managing their work and life, but for me, it’s not that simple. For me, creativity, organization, and life are anything but simple, and managing them is a delicate process that constantly changes . I recently had an article published on the Evernote Blog that chronicles how I incorporate Evernote into my hodge-podge workflow. (Evernote is the bubble gum and bailing wire that holds my life together.) Read more I typically write a couple of articles on O...

The PDF is well illustrated and covers a lot of the details that you probably won’t discover on your own.  It took me about 3 minutes of skimming through the book to discover 5 huge timesavers that I didn’t previously know about. The book isn’t just limited to Evernote.  It shows you how to integrate other services as well.  For example, there are detailed instructions showing how to set up Gmail to automatically log receipts from Amazon purchases into Evernote. The PDF book is $25 and is highly recommended. Want to go paperless? Checkout the Paperless Office website. Others found ...

It helps the user organize information in an efficient and timely manner, and the user interface is very good. However, the product does cost a little bit ($39 for an individual version, $29 for educational), and Evernote is free. The main difference between the two programs is that (1) Yojimbo is made to be simple and user friendly, and so that it does not interrupt workflow. Evernote is more capable. It actually syncs to it’s own cloud-based web version and allows iPhone access without payment. (2) Yojimbo does cost a bit to use. Evernote is free, for the time being.

I used it mostly for blogging. It’s integration with Firefox made it an easy to use tool for saving links, web pages and blogposts. At the beginning of the previous year I decided to give Evernote a try and I was very satisfied with this capture tool. You can sync your evernotes with all your devices, even with the iphone. It’s integration with Firefox is smooth. Recently found a better alternative reducing the time to save links etc. with another click less and as such more comparable to Google Notebook: Read It Later. It’s faster than Evernote, because especially in Windows Evernote has to start up, you have to approve each note and tag it if wanted. Read it later is also an onli...

Digital alternatives like Poken and My Name is E don’t seem to have enough success, only nerds and geeks not your average academic or business man has any of them. There are alsoother ways to use the internet to create, share and use your business card, but again not in much use by doctors, scientists and academics. I often ask myself how to get a grip on these business cards of which the social calling cards like moo cards were a recent hit.

How usable is it as an smartphone for doctors? Well I can say it pretty much does replace your old PalmOS device as it is. One of the cool features of the old Palm PDAs is the ability to keep snippets of information in the Memos (Notes) in various categories for instant recall. These notes may be protocols, clinical pearls or practically any bits of information which you want to look up while rounding for instance. WebOS’ builtin “post-it” type Memos is ok if you are keeping about 10-20 notes but pretty useless...

It supports multiple platforms including Windows, Mac and mobile devices like the iPhone, Palm Pre, Windows mobile and Blackberries. Here’s an excellent video I came across by Ryan MacDonald, a medical student, which demonstrates how he uses Evernote as his peripheral brain. Having part of your head in the clouds does help!

This was in the 20th century. Have you heard of Evernote? We mentioned in an earlier post that If you are a doctor, you should be using Evernote Now here’s a cool video of how a medical student, Ryan MacDonald, uses Evernote as a peripheral brain.

The Palm Centro will be the last device produced by Palm to run on Garnet (PalmOS version 5.x) so says Ed Colligan recently. The future is WebOS and this is what the latest PDA phone from Palm, the Palm Pre, will run on. One of the Palm Pre’s radical changes is the departure from traditional Desktop sync and the reliance on data sync over the “cloud”. This means syncing with data on Exchange as well as pulling data from services like Google and even getting contact information from Facebook etc. As someone who has been syncing only with Desktop PCs all this time, this is somewhat a major departure from what I am used to. I thought I might experiment a bit more with getting my PIM data synced using “cloud services”. Firstly a...

I’ve been using it for a while now and while I talked about it as a mobile note taking option, I haven’t mentioned it here yet. Evernote is great for taking notes (including stuff you come across when you are browsing), uploading pictures, organising bits and pieces of information and later on looking up this information. It’s basically a “peripheral brain”. The best part about Evernote is all your notes can reside in your PC, in your mobile device or in the “cloud” on Evernote servers. All of these are kept in sync so basically you can access your information anywhere.

Just to give you an introduction, I am a pediatrician who is primarily a clinical researcher in a subspecialty. Therefore, my clinical work comprises less than 10% of my time. Outside of my subspecialty work in an academic centre, I also moonlight in a peripheral hospital in general pediatrics. I use my PDA mostly when on-call, as I am still doing 24-hour calls in pediatrics in which I might be called to a delivery, the NICU and the emergency room. As such, my experiences may not exactly mimic yours. But, here goes… Here are the medical programs I used on my 6-year old Palm Tungsten C: ePocrates LexiDrugs P...

If you use an application like Agendus, then everything gels brilliantly together. Memos for doctors would be akin to keeping your “peripheral brain” in your mobile device. I’ve got hundreds of Memos collected over the years - bits of information which I’ve entered and need to refer to every now and again. These could be treatment protocols, Medical Pearls or whatever you fancy. I like Agendus as it makes looking up the Memo as easy as typing in a few letters which searches the first line of the Memo. You could also use Memoleaf which supercharges your Palm Memos and makes searching your Memos just as easy. Using Memos in Windows Mob...
