Two productivity tools I use
Billed as your personal email assistant, Sandy does lots of stuff that I’ve never even bothered to learn. Because my head is already full of niggling details, which is why I wanted her help in the first place. Basically I use Sandy to remind me about stuff. Like if I get an email asking me to do something on such-and-such a day, I’ll email it to Sandy and tell her to remind me. On the set day, I get Sandy’s email reminding me. This is very useful for things like when a person signs up for Blog Action Day and doesn’t want to forget to blog on Blog Action Day. I just emailed my welcome letter with the link code I need to Sandy and she’ll email me the day before to remind me to blog it. Very helpful.
Jott is a way to send yourself messages through your cell phone. You call your number and a kind automated woman (probably Sandy) answers. She says, “Who do you want to Jott?” I say “myself” or “Brett” and then she tells me to send my message and I say, “Remember to call Jane Doe when you get home” or “Don’t you dare eat all the ice cream, Brett!” And Jott emails the message to me or to Brett. (It can also text you but we have text turned off of our phones because we kept getting spam text and our plan isn’t unlimited.)
I’m sure you can do other things with both programs. I hear you can twitter and blog and stuff like that from Jott but I don’t need it for that. I need it to keep details from falling clean out of my overstuffed head.
Sandy has been a life saver for me, but I didn’t know about Jott. Thanks!
It’s the last day of the first week!!!! How’s it goin’??????
