Tools used to Improve Productivity

What are some of the tools you use in your work to improve your productivity? Here are some of mine...

iDictate - Secretarial Transcription Services

Often, I need to transcribe copy I've recorded, a telephone conversation (such as one with a client), a teleseminar, or an audio file that's relevant to my copy. iDictate is an online service that will transcribe audio files of any type and email you a document by email within a few hours. It's all done by human beings. (This is important since software, like Dragon Naturally Speaking, have to be trained and can only transcribe the speaker who trained it.) They even offer a 1-800 recording service, which is great for doing it on the phone.
