A new tool for helping put your Task Preparation Sheets together

I am in charge of a program whereby I give out small gifts to folks on the Exchange team once a month as an incentive. I've been giving out Amazon.com gift certificates, but I haven't seen them actually act as much of an incentive. Sure, everyone likes to get gift certificates for stores like Amazon, but they're not exactly the kind of thing that's discussed at the lunch table [1].

Thanks to this post on Korby's old blog, I have settled on a new item I will give out instead: red Swingline staplers[2]:

I'll be presenting the staplers as well as the TPS report, of course. I'm hoping that these incentive gifts will leave a more lasting impression.
