Think of your smart phone as a digital Swiss Army Knife

From Lifehack.org

You can use a smart phone for telephone calls, email, and/or texting. But it is also a powerful tool that can make your professional life easier in many other ways. Here are some tips and tricks:

• Use your phone’s unique ring-tones or signals for different events. Want your phone to remain silent unless a key client or family member phones? You can set your phone to do this.
• Want to get a discrete signal that your meeting hour is almost up? Set your phone’s clock or timer to vibrate at a certain time.
• Want to remember where you parked your car at the airport? Take a snapshot of the area with your phone’s camera.
• Record voice memos when you don’t have the time to write a note
• Calculate tips or bill splits at lunch.
• On some smart phones you can now find an address or retrace your steps using built-in GPS.
• You can store and update shopping lists, check out movies playing in your neighborhood, and access Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter on your phone.

Remember, this is just a list of activities and solutions that I have found useful in my own practice or in the work of my clients. It isn’t even close to exhaustive.
