The coat hook was missing a screw and falling from wall; waiting room magazines were outdated; posted office hours were taped over with an index card and new hours written in marker; credenza was overflowing with mail and claim forms. There are plenty of dentists to choose from, and while he might be a competent one, why chance it?

It's same at work. Bosses choose which people to give a great assignment to, take a chance on or consider for a project. Customers choose which businesses to frequent. All those little things really aren't so little. They're impressions. And those impressions help others make decisions about you.

Does it matter if you don't spell check your email? It's only an email, right? Wrong. It's an impression about way you work. Does it matter if address label is crooked on letter you send a customer? Who looks at envelope anyway? It matters. It's an impression highlighting that company (or individual) has poor attention to detail.

Does it matter if you're habitually late for meetings or don't show up at all? I'd say so. It's an impression about what you think of other people's time. What about a voice mail message saying, "Your call is important to me. I'll get back to you as soon as I can." When it takes two weeks to call, that little thing is an impression about real importance of my call and your credibility.

* Do you have a system for remembering your passwords but forgot system?

* Do you avoid registering for things because you can't cope with yet another password?

* Would you like to keep all your important details safe and remember just one single password?

* Would you like to find a free tool that will solve all your problems?

I had same problems and more for years, I was getting so frustrated trying to remember all this important security stuff that I got to point where something had to be done. It isn't just Internet passwords either, what about bank card PIN numbers, credit cards PIN's, passwords for telephone answering machine. The list goes on and on and it never stops getting bigger and bigger.
