Do You... Hate Your Computer?

Chances are you do. Most people these days hate their computer. But there is hope. In my world, people love their computers so much they give them names. Well, you may have named yours too, but I am talking about names that aren’t censurable.

Despite the efforts of all the geeks, techies, and nerds out there, most technology isn’t user friendly. Heck, most stuff doesn’t even work the way it is supposed to! That is why I started doing consulting for business owners or professionals who need their technology to actually work for them.

The purpose of my consulting is to accomplish three things:

1. Make sure you have the right technology to actually accomplish everything you need.

2. Eliminate all unnecessary technology that gets in the way and clutters your life.

3. Make sure your information is organized and easy to manage.

That second point surprises people, but in reality most of the time I begin consulting for people they have too much technology and yet nothing that does what they really need. People at computer and cell phone stores aren’t usually trained to actually suggest the right technology to fit your life, nor do they really care too. I find more and more people who throw away money on stuff they didn’t need and didn’t work anyway.

The other side of technology consulting is actually information consulting. As a database designer, I have learned efficient and creative ways to help people master the massive onslaught of information that passes their way. A good email program and setup will only get you %50 of the way to handling your inbox, the other %50 is disciplining the way you handle it.
