I use this spreadsheet to track meetings
that I'm chairing. I've used it for the past 2 months and it beats pen/paper
and mental calculations.

Before a meeting, I put in the duration of the agenda items. When a meeting
starts I put in the start time in the START field. The spreadsheet then
computes the time when we need to move on to the next agenda item. If an
agenda item exceeds the time allocated for an item, I just put in the extra
minutes in the duration and the timings for the subsequent agenda items get
recomputed.

To save battery power, I use the Stop Watch and put a 5 minute countdown
with repeat in the Timer section. Every 5 minutes, the palmtop would turn
on. I would glance at the spreadsheet, check time and turn the palmtop off.

Enjoy,
