Time Gadgetment
I made it through week one at work! I actually had a good time and it was very productive! I can tell you unequivocally that I would not have been able to do as well without my “Remember the Milk” reminders on my iGoogle front page as well as my Google Calendar sent to my email. If you are tasking a lot at work or just in life I recommend you getting the iGoogle personalized with “Remember the Milk” as part of your iGoogle front page. That combined with your Google Calendar for events (I have learned that tasks and events are different and that is why I need Remember the Milk and Google Calendar. An added feature I have, but it’s not totally necessary, is the extremely fun Google Desktop I wrote on a few weeks ago where you can add a widget for the calendar that allows you to type in events on the fly right there on your desktop.
With so much innovation going on at my school right now, we teachers have a lot of task deadlines and events to remember. One teacher at my work even complained to the Principal that her health was suffering due to the barrage of deadlines, events, and such. For me it’s not so bad thanks to my nifty stuff! I’ve always tried to make fun out of work by using technology or other forms of tools. Try ‘em out, you’ll be blown away!
I’ve been meaning to try your “remember the milk” thing…now that school and a billion (ok, 6) different schedules are starting, I might just give it a try!!!
