>online casinomebeliite the fact that this was actually a business trip… it was a blast! I definitely learned some valuable lessons, both from the NitroMarketing Quattro live event and from the roadtrip itself. I came back with two important roadtripping lessons as far as staying ‘working’ during the trip…
1) Do not attempt ‘Marathon Sprints’
2) Use a low-powered laptop while ‘on the road’ (but not while driving, of course).
Heading down there, I drove the 1,000 miles from Chicago to Dallas in one shot and had to be at an event two hours after I arrived in Dallas… a very rough trip down that didn’t accomplish much besides covering a vast distance in a short time. I think it would be better if I left a few days before the event, spent a few hours driving, then spent a few hours working each day. In the future, this will be how I try to stay productive when traveling.
My laptop is a very powerful ‘desktop replacement’ unit that weighs a ton and draws huge power. During the event in Dallas, I was rendering videos that people were creating and it went very fast on my workhorse of a laptop, but I was afraid to plug it into my truck after I cooked my wires last year doing that exact thing. Without plugging it in, I only have about 30 minutes of battery life, so I try to reserve it for emergencies.
While my wife is driving, or even when I pull into a rest area, I would be able to use a lower-power laptop more easily and I’d be a lot more productive.
We have a handful of pics from the trip and a bit more detail to make this blog interesting, but I also need to catch up on my work! Stay tuned as we post the pics and talk about the trip!
