Things I have learned:

Using a mouse pad under the document gives a clear stamp every time.
No matter what kind surface i.e. car hoods, old warped card tables.

Using SORTKWIK
Instead of licking your fingers.

Using only home/office phone number as contact a number.
Forward to cell.
Saving minutes/money on cell phone bill.

Internet and phone all in one.
Saving on phone/internet provider.

Using a free e-fax number
Eliminates a monthly bill.

Not joining NNA.
Saving hundreds!

I love Sortkwik and it is much more professional than licking your fingers!
However the last item on your list, is most definitely the best tip!!!

Re: Sortkwik is also availalable at Staples

Those were great prices on that link - you can also purchase at Staples but it costs a little more. Look for it in the money counting section, like where they sell the money boxes and change sorters. I didn't know it was antibacterial! Kewl.

Love it...

I always keep 1 in my notary bag, 1 at my desk. Sometimes it comes in handy to entertain fussy little kids - and one time an older lady thought it was my ink pad for the thumbprint... ;>

Rubber fingers (old idea)- & other things I pack/my bag type

http://www.cleansweepsupply.com/pages/item-swi54032.html

they come in various sizes....and a pack of 12 is about $2.00

I keep them in a little zip lock bag.

other things I use:
Soft grip pens for my elderly Reverse Mortgage signers
Wide barrel pen for the folks with arthritis (I lay out a choice and they pick it)
a magnifier sheet for those with vision problems

I put everything into a 12 can cooler bag (most merchandisers sell these) with a shoulder strap. It holds my journal, the CT manual in case I need to show a citation to someone, my clean paper, extra forms, (why people buy these when you can simply print them out yourselves with your name, expiration date, etc.- but maybe some states make one do that), stamps (ack, jurat, signature stamp, seal stamp), embosser, and fingerprint stamp pad (inkless- no muss).

I also keep business cards & change- some extra $5s, bills, etc. in the net pocket on the outside.

Pair of cheaters.
For the “I can’t find my glasses”
And for me “I forgot my glasses in the car”

i like the rubber tips for your finger b/c . . .

it's easier, no reapplication and it fits in my box w/my stamp, etc.

What great ideas, and here I've been throwing away those mouse pads all this time. And I thought you only licked fingers after eating chicken and ice cream sandwiches. Thank you. But explain this home/office phone thing.

Mom would have smacked us up side the head and handed us a napkin.

I work from home, but some people have offices, or a dedicated office line.
SS inevitably call my cell first racking up minutes when I was sitting next to the phone.
It also gives me uninterrupted down time when out playing.
