Productivity Tools

I like the sound of productivity tools, who doesn't want to use their time better.

I went through and took a look at each of the different tools on offer.

I have used dropbox before, and found it a bit annoying constantly popping up when I start the PC. I ended up uninstalling it.

I have been using Google Calender for a few years now and LOVE it! I keep everything in there and able to access it anywhere. I also have shared calender access with my husband's google calender so we never double book anything, and he gets notified when someone's birthday is coming up.

I wouldn't mind giving Instapaper a go too, I never get a chance to finish articles online. I'd love to be able to go back and read them.

Doodle looks like a really good tool to use, but only with the tech savy attendees. I can't imagine my elder relatives being too impressed by receiving an invite that way.
I"ll give doodle a go in the near future.

Until next week...

  1. Yes - give Doodle a go- I use it occasionally to organise a bunch of friends....
    I am sure you can change the settings in DropBox so that it doesn't pop up when you start the PC.

  2. Great Sarah, Google Calendar is very useful. I have used Doodle to organise a mutual time for a library staff meeting :-).

    It's good to see when most people can make a certain timeslot for a meeting. So now you know...
