Mini Travel Mouse To the Rescue!

A Travel Tip to Boost Your Productivity

I was speaking in California and a client gave me a mini travel mouse as a gift.  I appreciated the gift but doubted that I would ever use it.

On the flight back I popped it out of its case and gave it a quick try.  I was sold!  Even on a narrow airline desk-tray, I immediately noticed that I was working faster with less effort.  I simply shifted my computer to the left and that freed up enough space for me to use the mini travel mouse.

I like the precision and accuracy of a mouse and I find that the placement of a mouse to the right of the keypad…somehow also helps in terms of reducing motion.  Even if you just travel around your work building — I would give it a try and see if you aren’t boosting your productivity.

I recommend using one with a cord vs. a battery.  I just find batteries to be an annoyance when you own so many things that require a battery replacement.
