Favorite Tools for February

I love finding new tools or gadgets. As a virtual assistant we are always looking for ways to be more productive and efficient. There are three applications I would like to share with you today. I will share three more on Wednesday!

Vision Board
I am big on setting goals and reviewing them on a regular basis. I believe it helps us stay focused when we can visualize what we desire to achieve.
Reasons I like the on-line vision board
· Add music which makes it fun to view your board on a daily basis.
· Display beautiful photos from their database or add your own.
· Write positive affirmations that go with your goals and pictures.
· The on-line vision board makes it easy to review daily.
· Looking at your board should motivate you to keep going and pressing on!
Go to the on-line vision board because it’s packed full of information and other uses I didn’t even mention: http://tinyurl.com/aeoqv3

Remember the milk
This is a great way to keep track of everything you need to do. We all have a zillion tasks everyday to keep track of and the method I was using wasn’t efficient
The reasons I like remember the milk
· It’s really easy to use and a free resource.
· You can open several folders to separate all your projects or businesses.
· If you work with one folder at a time your tasks don’t seem so overwhelming!
· There is a place for notes which I find very useful.
· Call Jott or send an e-mail and your task is posted in your inbox.
· Once you complete a project you still have it archived for future reference.
· There are other features you might enjoy I haven’t used yet.
· I like the name and the logo!

Jott
What a great tool for those of us on the run!! I am notorious for thinking of things while I’m away from the office and then forgetting them before I go onto my next thought! So Jott helps me look even smarter!
There are several reasons I like Jott
· Great videos to explain each step.
· Call Jott and a message will be sent to your remember the milk inbox!
· Another way to update Twitter send a quick note to Facebook fans.
· Send a message to be posted on your blog.
· Draft an e-mail message which will be ready to send upon return to the office.
· You can follow your favorite feeds, use with your blackberry, and much more.
I have not listed all the uses again so go and see for yourself. Now if we had the ability to send an e-mail from Jott that would be cool.
Look smarter like me by using http://jott.com

Thanks again for stopping by and I would like to hear what you think about these tools. I will share three more on Wednesday!
