			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My new business cards have arrived this morning. I had decided to purchase the &#8220;Free&#8221; business cards from Vista Print. Basically, it&#8217;s free plus shipping and a small advertisement on the back, but I decided to up the price and double the quantities and add a back to the card and received 500 business cards. Total cost including shipping was $32.10 CDN (slow boat to Winnipeg option <img src='http://www.hbsmc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ). I chose the slowest delivery option and ordered my cards on March 7, 2011 and received them today March 28, 2011. I wasn&#8217;t in a rush and 3-weeks ain&#8217;t bad! </p>
<p>Here they are:<br />

<p>I&#8217;ve been using the <a href="http://www.azzcardfile.com/">AZZ Cardfile</a> software for years now, and usually tend to recommend it to people that I know and my clients, if they are looking for something like this. It takes little memory, resides in your taskbar near your timeclock, and is quite versatile. It&#8217;s basically a cardex on the left side, and it&#8217;s a free-for-all on the right side! URL&#8217;s are clickable links .. if you type mailto:email@address it is also clickable .. you can toss over pictures, and the text expands as you need the space. On my main phone number database, I jot down dates and brief comment discussions .. since my memory sucks!</p>
<p>I personally have 3 &#8220;Cardfiles&#8221; accessible at all times. It&#8217;s nice, because if you go &#8216;File&#8217; / &#8216;Open&#8217; / .. the last 4 datafiles are shown (like Excel or Word does if you know what I mean). This is how I utilize this neat little program:</p>
<h3>THE HART AND YVONNE CARDFILE</h3>
<p>* Every possible person for both personal and business is added to the database, last name order. I also update with addresses .. phone numbers ..  comments .. everything!</p>
<h3> BLOGGING MONETIZATION AND SPONSORSHIPS</h3>
<p>* I list each blog in the left side, and I have a standard template on the right side. On the last day of each month, I add all my sponsors and make it easy to copy/paste into my blogs! I usually finish PRE-posting them around the 2nd of the month, but pre-date them around the 10th <img src='http://www.hbsmc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>ONLINE PASSWORDS AND AFFILIATIONS</h3>
<p>Geez Loueeeze! These can take forever &#8230; Don&#8217;t use a binder &#8211; use this! I have a clickable link to each site that I have to log in to &#8211; including the userid, the password, and the email that is being recognized. If there is any other information (like, mother&#8217;s maiden name, favorite high school sweetheart name, etc) .. I also add it.</p>

<br/><br />
I&#8217;ve been using <a href="http://www.orionbelt.com/products.html">Easy Task Manager</a> since about January 2007, as documented over on <a href="http://1800hart.com/blog/2007/01/i-have-finally-decided-on-a-new-todo-list-software-for-myself-easytaskmanager-software/">1-800-HART</a>.</p>
<p>I pretty much like to keep it simple, so if I click on the top &#8220;Projects&#8221; I see everything. When the task is done, I click &#8220;Completed&#8221;.  It stores the completed task in the calendar section, but honestly .. I couldn&#8217;t give a rat&#8217;s ass about that.</p>
<h3>Projects</h3>
<p>* To Meet  (appointments, meetings with clients, etc)<br />
* To Get (missing information, correspondence to lawyers, etc)<br />
* To Do  (The Task)<br />
* To Pay (Accounts Payable reminders)</p>
<h3>Context</h3>
<p>* T1s (personal tax returns)<br />
* T2s (year ends and corporation tax returns)<br />
* Monthlies (monthly bookkeeping and accounting that are in)<br />
* Compliance (PST, GST, Payroll, Request to file, etc)<br />
* House &#038; Home (bathroom duties, basement cleaning, cat litter removal, etc)<br />
* Blogging &#038; Online (backup reminders mostly .. Been thinking of using it for blogging schedule)</p>
