Blackberry in Bed

By David Schnurman

I don't know about most of you but in bed is when I get most of my thinking done. Everything is so quiet, it’s just you and your thoughts. Until my blackberry, I had no effective way to get my thoughts down without waking up my wife in our pitch black bedroom. Even this article now I write on my Blackberry.

I will say, I did not realize how much more this tiny little device would allow me to be productive. I draft emails on the subway, when I otherwise would be reading or day dreaming. I am much quicker on follow (as best as I can be) and keeping in touch.

Best of all I have my growing network of entrepreneur contacts at my finger tips. I have my choice to email, text, call, and even fax them if I so desire.

It keeps me organized (to an extent). I have always believed the key to success was not necessarily how smart you are, but how organized you keep yourself.

Of course, there is the ability to search the internet and never be more then one click away from Google.

And lastly, my hand coordination has become lightning fast. It takes a lot of skill to both hold up the blackberry while your wife sleeps and type on these little buttons with both thumbs.
