Tools So You Never Forget
|
You know how difficult it is to keep track
of all the things you have to remember. You
use a calendar, to-do lists, random scraps
of paper, and more often than not, your own
memory. If your brain is tired from all the
things you are trying to keep up with, check-out
some of the tools and products below.
Zenminder -
If you are a Blackberry user and not so
thrilled with the calendar reminder, this
is a great tool for reminding you of the
most important events and tasks in your life. Toodledo -
You create your to-do list and set reminders
for important tasks. It's a web based program
that can also connect with the iphone (an
app) and other popular devices. The web
version is free and allows you to access
your list anywhere. Omnifocus -
This is another great tool for managing
your to-do's and all the other things you
want to remember. However it is only available
for the Mac (although there is an iphone
app). It's great for those using David
Allen's GTD system. Remember
The Milk - A cute name for a
powerful task management system. You can
receive reminders via e-mail, instant messaging
and SMS. There's an application for the
iphone and blackberry, or it can be used
via the web. Stickies -
This is a great tool for those of you with
yellow Post-it® notes covering your monitor,
desk, and phone. Stickies is a way to
computerize those notes so you can set
audible reminders and organize things you
want to remember without having small squares
of paper cluttering your desk area. Portable
Notebooks - If you're more of
a low tech person, then I highly recommend
you carry a notebook in a color, size and
style that you love so that you ensure
it is always with you. Moleskine is a
popular brand, but your options are endless.
Use your portable notebook to take meeting
notes, jot down things you want to remember
(and transfer later to your calendar or
task management system), and store lists
of items that interest you (books to read,
items to buy, websites to visit, quotes
to remember, etc.).
Use these tools to get things the things
you need to remember out of your head. You'll
be amazed at how much your focus and concentration
improves.
All the best,
