Another pda site you say!..... Well not really, as a
construction project manager I feel that not to many sites dedicate much time to construction
related software regarding CE based pda's. It's for this reason that I
wanted to develop a site dedicated to construction industry software. In essence I
will to my best to search out hardware, software and news that will help you in
your quest, either to become a better project manager, or just ease the
daily work load a bit.
Well that is my intent anyway, I hope to do a good job and perhaps I can
help out even if its in the smallest way.
My Jornada
 My pda of preference to date is the
HP Jornada 548. Yes, there are ones out there with faster
processors and better screens perhaps, but buck for buck I can do what
many others can do, in a smaller and unique package. Clk
here for more info.
Time is Money
Like the picture says, "Time is Money". All construction
Project Managers I know feel this way, including myself. It seems that
time always runs out before you even had a chance to start something, never mind
just finishing it. I guess its the same for all who work, but its has
never been more critical for a construction Project Manager. In the past 5
years construction has boomed especially here in New York City. Work is
coming out my ears and find it hard to keep up. You know!, what its all
about... running from site to site, the paper work involved and the phone
calls. Ah, yes! those phone calls all are emergencies, everyone has a
problem, except you of course, you just have to answer the phone. I have
to say that without the aid of a pda, and a cell phone, I would have been going
no where fast. Most of this is no news to you I know, but the ability to
use these tools might be. You see most of you may have a cell phone, pda
and perhaps a pager as well. But, if you don't know how to use them, its
all useless. This does not mean that because you answered the phone or
pages that you completed your task at hand. The key is to use them to your
advantage and use them well enough to do the job, and not just look good on the
side of your belt. My routine is simple and its an old adage as well, :Do
one thing at a time and do it well"... sound familiar, believe you me its
the key. If you take a minute to prioritize, what task are to be taken
care of first and complete it before the next, you will be rewarded.
Sorry, you won't win the Lotto, but I can assure you some piece of mind. The
accomplishment of completing that one task will make you feel like a million
bucks, OK maybe not after you start pondering the other 1 million tasks you have
to do. You get the idea, its important to finish that one call before you
go to the next, to mail that proposal before you start the job, its all part of
being a Project Manager. As time goes on I will be posting more editorials
(for lack of a better word) and give you my advice and ideas from my past 22
years experience in this field, Oh god I can't wait to retire......
