You've seen them, they all look the same, the regular 'road warrior' with their determined expression, wrinkle proof suit and pulling a beaten up on a carry bag ... if you travel a little or a lot with your company, there are many ways to increase your personal productivity, wherever you wander. This before, during and after strategies will help you maximize your time, limit your stress and increase your overall productivity trip.
Before> Travel
Buy the tools - you would not build a house without the proper tools, travel is no different. To create a productive traveler you want to make sure you have a variety of tools to assist the comfort and productivity of your trip. Check tools, purchasing, are quality luggage, Ipod, noise-canceling headphones, soft case and GPS system.
20-22 inch Expandable Carry On Luggage - I like Briggs and Riley, is durable, lightweight, expandable, self-healing and well done. Check out http://www.briggsandriley.com. These are allowed in the U.S. and other countries luggage. If you are buying luggage look for features such as pull, strong wheels, stability foot on the ground (in case it gets too heavy), external zippers (to travel documentation and the Ziploc toiletry bag to keep) and also to ensure that the pop-up handle is a "pull" action.
IPod or MP3 - which is not a luxury, this is a prerequisite for any> Travel. I have a created a selection of play lists, including one with very relaxing music so that when it's time to sleep again I could fall asleep to this group and.
Noise-canceling headphones - these are a little luxury, but I would not travel anywhere without them. My husband previously flew many long international flights and he turned me onto this great invention. I prefer the Sony small-ear type and take them wherever I gohttp://www.sony.com
Briefcase - I like a soft bag that allows me to enter personal and work related items tote. My favorite is from Coakley Business Class (sorry guys) are for women only and they are the best travel briefcase I have ever found (and you can use it every day!) Http: / / www.coakleybusinessclass.com. In the name of the Lord to try to smooth the Samsonite one, it has great suspension in the shoulder. When looking for a brief case also make sure it has theUse feature, so you can slide it over your hand luggage (many a soft strap or a zippered section allows you to do this).
) GPS (Global Positioning System - this was the best gift I ever got! Now they are getting smaller and are perfect to plug your car when you go to another city. Even if we are in Italy, we were downloaded in the past year, the European maps and it was great fun to bypass small towns. I have my name 'Bella' - she always meBusiness when I drive late at night or in a city where I do not know my way.
Consider clothes - If you regularly on the street I suggest a few strategies to make life easier for packaging and look together to arrive.
Travel Outfit - Create your own travel outfit, yes it can the same every time. Mine is a pair of black trousers, black top (I have a short sleeve and for the summer and a long sleeve one) for the cooler months, tights and a pair offrom black patent leather flat slip on shoes. I wear the same silver jewelry with everything and I know that if I at the security checkpoint line I get nothing to be removed (except my shoes are good) - why pantyhose (or socks) if you should your shoes. The fabric of this outfit does not crease and is comfortable (which makes a big different) on long flights.
Airport shoes - do you think about the quality and make the shoes you wear to the airport. I propose that slipons of some description, so you do not awkwardly trying to tie shoelaces or belts. Also make sure they are comfortable and well made as you often long distances between gates or have to walk to the parking lot.
Take a pashmina - for the ladies, I recommend you in a dark pashmina to invest many uses. At the level it is (a big blanket and so many airlines in the U.S. do not provide pillows and blankets). If I rent a car it is a booster seat for me (he he). When Isitting on an airport floor (yes, I have done, that life is here in the U.S.) it's wonderful on the floor space and ... Oh yes, I can wear it if I need to keep warm.
Jewelry - has the same silver jewelry when I travel I know I can wear the next day, and I can walk through the screening area without removing them. It simplifies the process and speeds up the line.
Belt - if possible do not wear, an outfit that needs a belt, there is only one further point: theClothes that you have to remove in the airport line.
Productive packaging - there are many opinions, what to pack and I think the most productive way for me is a series of pre-packed bags. This includes luggage, carry on plane survival kit, briefcase, makeup and cosmetic bags.
Pre-packed luggage contents includes:
Cultural Ziploc bags
Underwear
First aid items (band aids, safety pins, and headacheTablets)
Make up bag

Replacement Batteryfor Noise Canceling Headphones

Make-up set - ladies, if you have many, I suggest you buy a complete set of makeup and makeup brushes, tools, and they keep making in a separate bag so that you never have to search for something, and you never forget something on the roadYour trips.
Ziploc Bag Toiletry content includes travel size:
Decant Shower Gel
Skin Care
Hair Care Products
travel size perfume or aftershave (most brands can now deliver a smaller size compatible with airline safety standards)

Spare lenses
Many department stores and pharmacies carry a wide range of travel products. I was fascinated when ISephoria was in Times Square recently that the merchandise had changed in the vicinity of the payment against material and with 50 + choices of the regular band products in large, comfortable travel container.
Plastic helps - My friend Camille was an airline goddess for many years and has given me this great tip with the plastic you get from your dry cleaners around your clothing to help prevent wrinkles.
Duplicates - (to be more productive and more) for a few extra dollarsconsider investing in duplicates of everything you travel with. If you are a regular traveler, with a packed bag, you can leave with minimal notice, and to save time and stress, before a trip. Belong on the list of items you can buy:
Care in travel size
make brushes - brushes, hair brushes and combs
Phone Charger
Adapter
Make-up
Stamps and stationery
substitute products means tights, clothes brush.
Choose your seat - I like to sit in an aisle seat so I was in and out, and I do not feel constrained by others. For longer flights (especially the red eyes), books that my friend Shawn the window seat so you sit in front of the window to be able to sleep, choose your seat wisely. If you have an option to select an exit row seat that it gives you more leg room. You might want to check outhttp://www.seatguru.com - it is a great site to see exactly what your seat will be on most major airlines.
Pre-print your boarding pass - wherever possible to go online 24 hours before you fly, and select your seat and print your boarding pass. To save time in the long queues at the airport check-in and help you to the seat you want.
Join airline clubs - if you fly to the same cities tend to take you to the airline programs such major airlines, you can alsoCollect frequent flyer miles for your travel. You can use them for a fun trip that you take care of it for future use.
Join airline lounges - if you invest regularly with the same institution in membership for the living room, so you have a quiet place to snack, get changed, or to fly over reading. I have found in Australia a great use of money was and is worthwhile, however, in the U.S., the gates and lounges are so divided, and there are so many opportunities to travel with various airlines, this was not a worthwhile investment for me, but here, if you fly the airline every time, it may be worthwhile for you.
Create a route one page - create a template that contains a confirmation code for each page of your flight, hotel and car rental information. Included on this template, all frequent flyer clubs and associations so that when you arrive, and they have not included this in your booking you can fast for your loan> Travel.
During your travels
Allow an extra 30 minutes - add at least 30 minutes on a lot of time you think it will take you to the airport or park. This extra time you save when you have stress in traffic, can not find a car space or the security line is longer than expected. If you already have a book or a magazine, you can use, packed to 30 minutes to read or to contact a friend or client connection.
Do you know the garage - if youregularly travel on the same airline, know the shuttle system or the design of the parking spaces, so you can quickly and out.
Remove your ticket - if you have a ticket / ticket when you arrive, you put it transported in the same compartment of your bag or briefcase, so you know where to find it on your return.
Write the pitches are on your ticket - in the U.S. in the car parks so big that I write, always the color and space in my parking lot entrance, so when I comeAfter a few days away (often late at night), I can quickly my car and no time around the garage.
Ground Transportation Note - if you have an airport, hint, where the taxis, shuttles or rental cars are parking garages. This will save time when you return and allow you to quickly make their way to the next spot.
Regular rental - Use the same landlord each trip will also increase your productivity, as expected,a certain standard each time you fly. You may also be the line joining their frequent customer program. I like using Enterprise because they are affordable and also every time you get to see her so happy to see you, and they pay attention to small details, including water bottles in the car and also pre-printed lists of local radio stations and areas of interest .
Listening to music - through the creation of different play lists on your iPod, you can enjoy your trip if you can hear moreMusic and block the noise around you. This is in the airport lounge effective at the gate and the plane. You might also send a CD included in your checklist for our rental car.
Getting through security checks - there are some tips on how to get faster through the line to:
Wear an outfit that does not require removal of items or any metal.
Turn off your cell phone and key in your briefcase or purse before entering the securityLine.
Keep your Ziploc bag of toiletries in an outside zippered pocket for quick access.
Get your laptop out of your briefcase before you reach your place in the line.
Turn on your laptop, shoes and toiletries in a container on the security conveyer.
Keep your boarding pass and photo identification in your hands.
Check-in or Carry on - I always hand luggage (up to five days), a business trip, I learned to packwell and have invested in a minimum number of outfits. I think it's wasted so much time to wait for luggage (not to mention the concerns can come to you! "), Wherever possible, and try your hand luggage for your business.
Laptop ... or not - if your journey does not require that you take with your laptop, leave it at home. It's one thing less to juggle through security checks and some laptops to add much weight to your briefcase. Leave it behind if you can. If you are usingtake it with the purchase of a smaller, lightweight model that is easy to use and you can make up in small towns. You pay more for smaller, lighter models, but it is money well spent.
Keep reading file - how to articles, newspapers or magazines that you want to read the collect, take it with you when you're on the road. Every week I receive the Philadelphia Business Journal, and I take them with me to read on the plane and enjoy. It is a paper that holds my interest, and small enoughMass is not the person next to me.
Buy water in bottles - part of my routine as soon as I walk through the security line is on the next business head to 2 bottles of water to buy. During the flight, it is important to drink water to keep you hydrated, it allows me to drink two bottles before the aircraft comes (helps if it), and major delays during the flight.
Healthy eating - many airlines do not deliver quality food on board, so try to find solutions, in healthyAirport to satisfy your hunger. You may also like to buy something to eat on board for longer flights, so that you are on a healthy snack items. I like it with a bag of almonds and pecans trips that I was always a delicious (and healthy) snacks. As you fly from the same airport every week to familiarize with the food supply within the terminal, so you quickly find something you like to eat.
Hotel-routine - no matter what time I come into a new hotel Ihave the same routine. I open my suitcase, remove my clothes and hang it on a hanger. If there is little wrinkles in the travel industry I take it to the bathroom, hung it on and turn the hot shower, a "steam build-effect" and this does not remove wrinkles collected. Now to my Australian readers, the experience of a drought at the moment seems very wasteful to allow these clothes while you are showering the next day to avoid waste, to hang the water. You might want to take thisOpportunity to place your iron. I then plug in my laptop, my cell phone charger set, set my alarm and then drag the documents or reading for the next day. By the same routine every time you will be productive and do not forget (important details and save time in the morning too).
Exercise - If you do not have a gym in the hotel from both for a walk outside at the beginning of the day or exercise in your room. I have often Place a towel on the floor and thennot a series of stretches, yoga, sit ups and push ups. You can create a routine, especially for travel, which is not required, ie all devices, push-ups, sit ups, squats and all yoga.
Call a customer - you often have time at the airport, it is a good time to connect with clients or colleagues. I use this time to touch base with important people in my life, and it is part of my business development time.
Strategic - time in hotel rooms can be lonely orunproductive so I use this time to design new products, my business plan, check to read and design new models or programs for my company. Some of my best ideas come while I use in my hotel room - this time for strategic thinking and space rather than turning the TV to keep your business.
Stay connected to communicate - when you arrive at your location, someone is important. I like to call my husband when I arrived at my hotel, so he knows I'm well and healthy andI hear his voice. Call your family or friend is a good way for you to stay connected on the road.
Write thank you notes - for I shall stamp paper with me when I travel, I use the flight home to write notes to people I met during my journey. On my arrival, my next goal I post them. It is a great way to get back to people after they met and is a productive use of flight time.
After your trip
Do you know the quickest routehome - to understand the quickest and least congested route traffic from the airport, so you can at home with which you maintain, in the smallest amount of time. Where I live there are 2 great opportunities, at home and you) the wrong at a certain times of the day, it can be up to an hour to your drive home (not so much fun after a long flight, so know which way is best at different times during the day.
Unpack quickly - when you arrive home early enough to unpack bagMine arrange all the necessary toiletries and clothing items for washing or dry cleaning.
Refill and replace - update any products in your 'pre-packed "hygiene articles or baggage which need attention and save time for future trips. Please note additional items you may have forgotten on this trip and put it in your luggage, so that do not forget it next time
Follow-up of your trip to remember - all items that you have missed to notice things that you enjoy or you get frustrated, and make the changes thatare in your control. Every time you travel, you can learn something new that will help you save time and frustration you save on your next trip will do.
Thank you, your team - if you have an assistant, let them know what has gone well over the trip and all the improvements would you like for your next trip. Thank you, your travel agent for trip planning and let them know when things do not go well and discuss how to resolve for the next trip. Thank YouClient for the opportunity to work with them. If you are experiencing a great service to a certain point of the journey take the time to e-mail or write a thank you to this organization. The simple art of thanking people is often overlooked, but it is one of the most powerful things you can do to increase your productivity, and someone else's day!
Gather your resources - there is so much paperwork on the road, including collect boarding cards, leases, hotel and food and receipts. Keep thisat a central location where (you stay I'll take plastic film for this purpose every time) I travel. When you get home quickly sort through the paper, action cards and then to any receipts or keep them aside for your customers. Edit all your paper within 24 hours.
Action Cards - if you have met new people during your trip more productive take the time to now work with those cards. You might want to keep a 'nice to meet you "you, scan them and add writethem to your database and write a note for any follow up action required. After this process carefully each time you travel is to collect stacks of business cards on your desk to avoid (remember the action that you do not already taken!)
Be grateful - if you are traveling on business, it means that you have a successful work that supports you and your family. Stop hating it and enjoy it. Thanks for the opportunity to new places, new people and share yourExperience is a privilege.
Change your language around travel, enjoy it, use it and be productive! The next time you see another road warrior smile at them and let them know that you understand. You can be more productive every time you travel through this before, during and after travel strategies ... now that I'm leaving tomorrow?
