We’re all busy. Busy answering emails, putting out fires, supporting users - and doodling in endless meetings (like the panda I am working on right now). Sure, doodling might seem counterproductive, but then I like to think of it as busy alleviating stress.

Being busy and being productive are two separate things.

Let’s face it, IT pros like you are in short demand and even shorter on time. Managing the day-to-day tasks, let alone all the new technologies and buzzwords that go with them, is something that you do after the work day ends – or as I like to refer to it - when the real work gets done.

You know, the fun stuff like researching how to secure your endpoints remotely, or how to enable your users to run apps that require admin privileges without actually giving them admin privileges (because that’s asking for trouble). And what about figuring out how to automatically manage GPO settings across targeted AD users - all that fun stuff happens after “regular” working hours. The irony is, if you had all that you might have a bit more free time.

 

Barren is the busy life

When was the last time you were able to simply get away for a few hours to expand your IT skills, attend a training session or check out the latest technologies that could help you spend less time on IT administration, and more time on innovation? Let me venture a guess – never?

What if I told you that there was a way for you to gain access to everything you need without actually leaving your desk? Taking that a step further, what if you were able to network with our IT evangelists, experts and your peers all from your desktop - so you can still be productive at work and have access to the tools and resources you need to advance your knowledge? Would you take us up on it? 

Come on, no excuses

Well, that’s exactly what the Quest Virtual Trade Show is all about. You’ll have access to our IT experts, virtually, so you can get the insight, tips and tricks, and technical information you need to proactively manage your desktop environment - without putting a dent in your productivity since you won’t have to leave your desk. 

But perhaps the best reason you should consider attending the virtual trade show is that you can set your own schedule and arrive whenever you like. Simply log in to the virtual expo on June 23rd any time between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. PDT (or 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. BST if you’re in the UK or EMEA) to connect, explore, and learn how Quest can help you support your organization – especially when you can do it right from your desktop.

    The statement "Being busy and being productive are two separate things" rings true in so many aspects of life, even in seemingly simple activities! It highlights the importance of focused effort and efficient workflow. Just like haphazardly piling ingredients won't create a delicious dessert, rushing through tasks without a plan often leads to subpar results.

  • This post cleverly highlights the common IT professional's struggle: constant busyness that doesn't always equate to productivity. Doodling, like researching new technologies after hours, becomes a coping mechanism.

    Speaking of relaxing (and still engaging your brain!), have you ever tried Papa's Freezeria? If you're looking for a fun, addictive way to unwind after a long day of troubleshooting, managing GPOs, and securing endpoints, this popular online game is perfect. In Papa's Freezeria, you manage an ice cream shop, taking orders, building sundaes, and keeping your customers happy. It's surprisingly challenging and a fantastic way to de-stress while honing your multitasking skills. Search " <a href="'s">papasfreezeria.one/">Papa's Freezeria</a> " and give your brain a delicious (virtual) break!

  • As someone who’s attended virtual trade shows before, I can say they really save a lot of time and make it easy to connect with experts at your own pace. I found it helpful to have everything accessible from my desk without any travel hassle. If you enjoy exploring new tools in a relaxed way, you might also like playing Monkey Mart during your breaks—it’s a fun way to unwind between sessions.

  • Great points about the distinction between being busy and being productive! It’s essential to carve out time for innovative thinking outside the regular grind. Instead of just firefighting, consider integrating engaging activities like playing the Snow Rider 3D game during breaks. It could help refresh your mind and fuel creativity as you tackle complex IT challenges. A little downtime can boost our productivity immensely!

  • Hey everyone! I totally relate! We're constantly juggling. It's a battle between being busy and being productive. Sometimes I feel like I'm just randomly connecting with issues like people on Omegle, just dealing with whatever pops up next! Finding ways to automate those tedious tasks after hours, like secure remote endpoint management, is key to reclaiming some sanity. More automation = more time for actual problem-solving (and maybe less panda doodling!).
