productivity I'm Ray Sidney-Smith and
0:00:25.410,0:00:30.529
I'm joined here today with Augusto
0:00:27.090,0:00:34.200
Pinaud and Francis Wade welcome guys
0:00:30.529,0:00:37.410
good to be here good morning Ray's great
0:00:34.200,0:00:38.850
we have a fantastic show today we are
0:00:37.410,0:00:41.129
going to be talking a little bit
0:00:38.850,0:00:43.170
philosophically today not that we don't
0:00:41.129,0:00:46.320
philosophically talk on most episodes
0:00:43.170,0:00:48.870
right but but today we're gonna be
0:00:46.320,0:00:52.170
talking about productivity and its
0:00:48.870,0:00:54.120
relationship to integrity and what I
0:00:52.170,0:00:57.420
wanted us to do is to start off with a
0:00:54.120,0:00:58.980
discussion about how we actually define
0:00:57.420,0:01:01.440
integrity because I think it's actually
0:00:58.980,0:01:05.820
very different from person to person in
0:01:01.440,0:01:10.110
terms of what integrity is I think for
0:01:05.820,0:01:13.159
me integrity means having a system that
0:01:10.110,0:01:17.220
is complete so that nothing is missing
0:01:13.159,0:01:19.979
that there are no elements that are out
0:01:17.220,0:01:21.740
of place but I find with a lot of my
0:01:19.979,0:01:24.479
clients and people that train is that
0:01:21.740,0:01:27.590
their systems are are for the most part
0:01:24.479,0:01:29.460
self developed or self created and
0:01:27.590,0:01:31.409
somewhere in their teens they put
0:01:29.460,0:01:34.799
together a bunch of habits practices and
0:01:31.409,0:01:37.170
tools and they come into adulthood and
0:01:34.799,0:01:38.430
sometimes in late adulthood never really
0:01:37.170,0:01:41.369
having examined what they put together
0:01:38.430,0:01:44.220
and as a result sometimes something is
0:01:41.369,0:01:46.290
missing so for example I'm working with
0:01:44.220,0:01:47.430
one client one trainee who told me that
0:01:46.290,0:01:50.369
you know she was feeling really guilty
0:01:47.430,0:01:52.939
because she couldn't remember all of her
0:01:50.369,0:01:56.340
In the last episode, Art asked a poignant and thought-provoking question of the ProductivityCast team? "What would it take to change to the opposite platform or operating system than the one you're currently on?" It piqued our interest to think and discuss this, so that's what we're doing on this episode! Enjoy!

0:00:15.000,0:00:18.990
Augusto Pinaud
0:00:16.800,0:00:21.330
the one question we didn't answer we
0:00:18.990,0:00:23.130
didn't ask and it probably could be a
0:00:21.330,0:00:25.260
whole separate discussion would you
0:00:23.130,0:00:27.480
switch is there something that would
0:00:25.260,0:00:31.070
compel you to switch from one to the
0:00:27.480,0:00:36.000
other and that's a really hard question
0:00:31.070,0:00:38.570
so is it really the device that's making
0:00:36.000,0:00:41.629
the difference or is it us
0:00:38.570,0:00:44.510
welcome everybody to productivity cast
0:00:41.629,0:00:48.870
today we are going to have a
0:00:44.510,0:00:52.559
continuation of last week's conversation
0:00:48.870,0:00:56.100
and today we have Augusto Pinaud Art
0:00:52.559,0:01:00.210
Gelwicks and Francis Wade last episode
0:00:56.100,0:01:02.219
listeners heard us debating the the
0:01:00.210,0:01:05.070
whole idea of smartphone productivity
0:01:02.219,0:01:07.619
choosing smartphones and the various
0:01:05.070,0:01:10.650
features both hardware and software wise
0:01:07.619,0:01:13.320
we're doing so Art Gelwicks came up with
0:01:10.650,0:01:14.880
this question at the end so art what
0:01:13.320,0:01:16.920
were you thinking when you asked that
0:01:14.880,0:01:19.110
question and we're gonna we're gonna
0:01:16.920,0:01:21.540
have that conversation today and really
0:01:19.110,0:01:22.979
discuss what it would take for us to
0:01:21.540,0:01:25.500
switch sides
0:01:22.979,0:01:27.570
whether you're Apple going to Android or
0:01:25.500,0:01:30.869
if you're on the Android platform going
0:01:27.570,0:01:33.540
to Apple or even Windows Phone and
0:01:30.869,0:01:35.549
making the switch to to Apple or
0:01:33.540,0:01:37.020
otherwise so so are you want to give us
0:01:35.549,0:01:37.340
some background there and we'll go from
0:01:37.020,0:01:40.650
there
0:01:37.340,0:01:45.750
okay it was really a kind of a two-part
0:01:40.650,0:01:47.490
And, the gloves come off! In this episode, the ProductivityCast gang dukes out the merits of a productive smartphone. We discuss the specific models we use, customization, productivity app selection, ease of use / intuitiveness, form factor, customer / technical support, and how to be most productive on your smartphone.
Enjoy! Give us feedback! And, thanks for listening!

you all for listening and thank you for
0:00:28.500,0:00:33.360
joining us here today I'm joined with a
0:00:30.869,0:00:36.600
gusto pin out my co-host as well as
0:00:33.360,0:00:38.940
Francis Wade and Art Gelwicks so we are all
0:00:36.600,0:00:42.739
together here today for this episode
0:00:38.940,0:00:46.379
let's get into it today we are going to
0:00:42.739,0:00:50.850
mostly fight in good good faith and good
0:00:46.379,0:00:53.820
effort about smartphone productivity and
0:00:50.850,0:00:57.390
and in essence what the best smartphone
0:00:53.820,0:00:59.100
is out there to be most productive and I
0:00:57.390,0:01:01.980
thought that what we would cover today
0:00:59.100,0:01:05.070
was was really the the essence of how we
0:01:01.980,0:01:06.900
use our phones to be productive and in
0:01:05.070,0:01:08.520
the vein of the mobile productivity
0:01:06.900,0:01:10.890
topics that we have had over the last
0:01:08.520,0:01:14.640
several episodes I want us to talk about
0:01:10.890,0:01:17.549
the pros and cons of the various nomally
0:01:14.640,0:01:20.400
hardware put software that we use for
0:01:17.549,0:01:22.820
our smart phones so I think it's
0:01:20.400,0:01:27.659
probably best for us to go around and
0:01:22.820,0:01:30.509
say what our primary smartphone is that
0:01:27.659,0:01:31.110
we're using today and then we'll get
0:01:30.509,0:01:35.130
into it
0:01:31.110,0:01:38.430
so I'll start I am currently using a
0:01:35.130,0:01:41.520
Google Nexus 5x as my primary phone and
0:01:38.430,0:01:45.390
I am running Android nougat which is
0:01:41.520,0:01:47.040
seven point X so the latest version of
0:01:45.390,0:01:49.110
seven point I think is seven point one
0:01:47.040,0:01:50.130
point something that's what I'm doing
0:01:49.110,0:01:52.140
well
0:01:50.130,0:01:54.180
apparently was established before these
0:01:52.140,0:01:57.649
girls start recording that I you have a
0:01:54.180,0:02:03.450
dumb phone and my gum phone is running
0:01:57.649,0:02:08.429
can access six plus so you have the six
0:02:03.450,0:02:12.390
If you are looking to purchase your first mobile tablet, or you're in the market to buy a new one, you're in luck! In this episode, Ray, Augusto and Francis tackle some of the important questions you should ask yourself about what kind of mobile tablet you should own.
As a quick overview, please take note of the following criteria you can use to make a decision:
Operating System – Choose the operating system that matches your smartphone.
If you don’t have a smartphone, compare Android, iOS and Windows operating systems against one another by the features you're most likely to use, not the marginal features.
Choose the right tablet format factor for your productivity needs.
App parity, or select based on the need of a specific app(s).
Decide on a budget.
Choose a few tablets based on operating system, form factor, app parity, and budget to test in your local electronics store.
Now, go enjoy this cast! Give us feedback! And, thank you for listening and please send us your questions!

morning how are you today I'm doing

really well and we are joined again with

0:00:34.079,0:00:37.290
are you doing Francis I'm fine it's
0:00:36.120,0:00:40.469
great to be with you guys again
0:00:37.290,0:00:42.750
I am sitting in my office and looking at
0:00:40.469,0:00:44.700
the beautiful sunny sky and looking
0:00:42.750,0:00:47.520
forward to this conversation we are
0:00:44.700,0:00:50.460
going to be talking about choosing a
0:00:47.520,0:00:52.680
tablet computer and/or mobile tablet as
0:00:50.460,0:00:54.390
some people call it and I think this is
0:00:52.680,0:00:56.969
a really important topic for a lot of
0:00:54.390,0:01:00.120
people because of the fact that we we
0:00:56.969,0:01:03.899
use screens of different sizes today and
0:01:00.120,0:01:05.880
as we traverse between screens that's
0:01:03.899,0:01:09.330
really important that the tool we use
0:01:05.880,0:01:11.220
the tool we choose to use is effective
0:01:09.330,0:01:12.689
for us and that comes with a lot of
0:01:11.220,0:01:15.210
Let’s get ready to ruuuummmmmblllllle! We’re going to battle until the last spreadsheet software is standing! Okay, not really. But, isn't that an exciting way to start anything!?
In this episode, we introduce our latest, regular podcast contributor, Art Gelwicks of The Idea Pump, to ProductivityCast. We’re excited to now have Francis and Art join us going forward and really increase the value of diverse productivity perspectives and knowledge. We each come at the world of personal productivity from different angles and backgrounds, and we believe that strengthens our ability on ProductivityCast to get to universal axioms as well as the deeper discussions of differences in personalities and workflows, from which you, our listeners, will benefit.
So, let’s get on with the discussion about the pro’s and con’s of the most popular spreadsheet software--and their productive uses!
Enjoy! Give us feedback! We love to hear from you and send your questions and suggestions. And, thanks for listening!
