Rebecca's Top 10 Tools as at 12 February 2008

1. MindManager – This has to be the best tool for personal productivity. It is also fundamental in project management tasks and processes. During meetings it is integral to brainstorming, creativity and minute-taking processes and is loved by each person in the company

2. Excel – for personal productivity and for sharing and accessing information on one document internally.

3. Wikipedia – Has become a backbone for personal learning and research. From personal interests to unknown acronyms it is the first place I look to search for information

4. Bloglines – for personal research and productivity

5. Internet Explorer – for personal research and learning

6. Ning – for networking and researching

7. LinkedIn – for networking

8. Facebook – for sharing information

9. iTunes – perfect for organising my increasing library of music. It’s also a great source for various downloads

10. Outlook – it helps organise my work from calendar events to reminders. I am also unable to imagine a working world without email
