Week 3, Semester 2 - Productivity Tools


I spilled my milk :(

I am all about making lists and checking things off my list. So I was excited to read about this week's tools - Remember the Milk & Jott.

Remember the Milk is like the ultimate tool for list lovers. I did walk through the Getting Started option in the Help menu. Sounds like you can get pretty fancy with your tasks and lists of tasks. That was when I started feeling a bit overwhelmed. I was having feelings of fondness for my little slips of paper that currently hold my tasks. As with any new tool though, it's usually just a matter of trying it out and getting used to it.

Regarding Jott, it sounds great! Reminds me of a friend who calls her answering machine at home when she needs to remember something, only this tool allows many more options. I can see how coordinating the use of your tools, eg. using Jott to call your Google calendar, would be quite handy.

Hi Amy,

Love the cow picture! Glad you found these tools fun to use! I've called my office phone - or emailed myself from home to leave a message with something I needed to remember. These tools are much easier!

Keep on playing!

I am constantly emailing to my home account, so this is kind of the same, but keeps everything in one tidy place.

Calling ones self to leave a voice mail sounds hillarious to me - like a sit-com. Mostly because the sound of my own recorded voice is so foreign - me and yet not me. On the other hand, like Jean I do email myself from my home and work accounts to remember things on occasion :)
