Nicola Katherine Louise Osborne nkl.osborne Where Do I Find The Time? I have a few handy non-techie tricks: YouTube @pbriscoe e-ventures in Studying, Working and Living! A person/user/presence in hundreds of places online and offline that all join up to make me! Here's what I get up to in a (term time) day! 8am - 10am Radio 4 Reply to Mobile calls/texts Twitter - check/Tweet Update iPod GMail - send/reply/catch up WebCT - updates/discussions/grades StaffMail -browse/send urgent emails Facebook - browse/reply/check events Delicious - bookmark anything interesting, Tweet TinyURL of anything I want to share.

Googlemail - checked every few hours (some work alerts here) TweetDeck - checked every few hours, Tweet via Firefox Ubiquity, Tweetdeck or phone. Follow up on emails & Tweets about new tech, new sites, new funding, conferences etc. Bookmark and tag everything. University Wiki (Confluence) - main area for day to day notes/drafts. Full Check of iGoogle - feeds for tech/social media news. Try out new tools as they appear - Prezi, Daytum, etc. Listen to podcasts as I work - Guardian Tech Weekly, RadioLab, MediaTalk etc. Bookmark & tag everything mentioned of interest. 2pm - 3pm (Lunch Time!) WebCT - login with (separate) UoE Student ID, check for updates, discussions, grades etc. Discussions - add comments if appropriate. FirstClass (Student eMail) - check if necessary (rare). Print out any neccassary readings from WebCT. 3pm - 6pm Staffmail - checking and sending throughout day for sharing/reporting work tasks. Googlemail - check when alerts pop up. TweetDeck - use once or twice unless major issue/hashtag to track. University Wiki Service - update as necessary. EDINA Intranet - post any completed reports and check minutes here. Bookmark anything interesting (for work, study or me) with delicious. Listen to podcasts or RadioPop (e.g. PM) as I work. Or view and participate in streamed events/conferences. Lots of other work tasks - meetings, reports, and lots of social media stuff! If I'm preparing a specific report - use Word or PowerPoint in office but often save a copy to Wiki or GoogleDocs to edit from home. 6pm - Midnight Login to WebCT & student email. Keep an eye on Googlemail and Twitter every few hours. Contribute to course discussions and/or course activities. Perhaps participate in a tutorial in Second Life or on Skype. Check Facebook, Flickr etc. Maybe chat to a friend (or my partner) on Facebook or reply to a conversation in Twitter/Flickr/Friendfeed - usually triggered by emails. If an assignment is coming up: browse readings online, look out related readings via search and WebCT (almost never the library search), ask peers via Twitter, email or course discussion boards, work on rough draft on Google Docs, save all usable references via unique delicious tag. If no assignment due:synch camera to computer and Flickr and/or record and edit a podcast and/or go out for a film, to see friends and/or update blog. If it's Eurovision time: build up my personal website and eurovision wiki, work on our zine, set up some social media interaction: CoverItLive, countdowns, RSS feeds etc, might watch something communally with TV on and laptop backchat. Do course readings in bed, making notes on the print outs. ...a very very understanding partner (with her own laptop) A great network of family, friends and contacts to flag things up and ask me questions I'm VERY lucky to have a huge work/study/fun overlap... Coffee & Great Home Cooking Very geeky friends who do things like... test Google Latitude MashUp their blog to their photo database set up a film review site fix projectors mix their own music ...for fun - I learn a lot from them! Super helpful & supportive colleagues! No children, animals or other regular caring responsibilities to schedule around... Home Broadband Enthusiasm, ambition and a rather over-excitable mind And, importantly: s9901618 Nikla Tokyoska Nic O also... also... ...a liking for doing 5 things at a time!
