subject: Traveling Can Be Both Relaxing And A Working Environment [print this page] Successful people have no use for wasted time or opportunities to be productive. This can be true no matter how they travel. Flying could be more productive, if the time is used in a productive manner and not just time spend in the air, setting for hours en route to their destination; or just plain wasted time.
Why not use this air time? It can be wasted time that you will never get back or be a important in-between time to make up for any lost production time in an earlier time frame. The digital age that we have so quickly embraced has allowed air time to be very productive time for any professional. The business related devices are small, wireless and can easily make a working office convenient and portable. No longer will any trip seem like a waste of time.
The old days of flying with a miniature typewriter are gone. No, wait, did I say miniature typewriter? Did such a thing exist? They do today, so every trip can be very productive, including anything that would need to be typed. Gone are the days of limited work being done on a flight. If nothing is pressing, it usually is no big deal if you just daydreamed the whole trip, but if something needed done now, you were out of luck till you landed.
Having this new technology available to get whatever you need done in a timely manner, no matter what your surrounding might be is very good assets to have as travel companions. Portable devices can make your mobile office come alive, right in the palm of your hands. E-mails, calls, faxes, and complete research capabilities are all accessible from the comfort of your seat. You can have the tools that you use in the office and the toys that you play with at home all setting in your lap.
Watching a movie privately; listening to the latest sounds of your favorite music, past or present; or playing a great game that didn't exist a few short years ago, is just a few neat things a cell phone will do in addition to making calls, texting, e-mailing and even doing any necessary research. Reports can be started and finished, before your plane ever approaches the landing strip; making the hotel room useful for refreshing rest and lounging activities. What better use for a airline seat, than to make it a makeshift mid air office to complete work related necessities.
