Thing 16-- Online Productivity Tools

This "thing" was a little difficult for me. I keep a planner, and I am very organized already. I do not want to make an online calendar or online to-do lists because those things wouldn't actually help me. I do have a terrible memory about most things so I have gotten into the habit of writing everything down. My system works as it is, and it would just take me a lot of time to start a new system. I was successful in completing some tasks I have been meaning to complete while I was learning about this "thing," however. I installed Firefox, and I set my iGoogle page as my homepage. I LOVE Google. ;)

I found a neat tool that I would love to use. Mystickies.com lets you put little sticky notes on any webpage you want for your own use (no one else sees them). I would love to put a note on this blog, for instance, because I have some thoughts about what I want to write in my reflection at the end of this project. However, I couldn't make the toolbar work, and after 20 minutes of trying, I decided I had better finish this up and get back to less fun but important things like vacuuming my house! It seems that the website is fairly new and those running it are developing toolbars for other browsers (it only works with an older version of firefox) so I will hopefully be able to utilize this tool in the future.

I made my own reminder. It's not the same, of course, because anyone can read it...but at least I will remember!
