Digital Nomads: processing your hotel room for working

Westin_sf_hotelMost of us who travel for business end up developing a routine we employ when we get to the hotel.  This practice is to get the environment ready for working sessions and getting down to business.  Digital Nomads has a nice article where the author lists what he does in every hotel room to process it for business.  There are some nice things to do, many I have done myself:

Disaster prevention
I have a fear of being late, so I immediately make sure all the timezones on my clocks are correct. I set the hotel clock alarm and alsohave a wake up call. About 10% of the time one of these will fail. Ialso set my phone which acts as an alarm clock.

If I’m giving a presentation, I put a USB drive with the files inthe safe in the room. This has actually saved me twice when there werecomputer issues and once when there was a flood.

Take a look at the article and leave a comment here with any tips you might have for processing your hotel room for getting work done.  One thing on my personal list is to always bring a travel power strip.  Hotel rooms never have enough outlets and they are always poorly placed so I bring my own to keep all my stuff plugged in and working away.
