And a big “thank you!” the nice folks at Shoeboxed, Evernote and … Continue Reading

Unfortunately, my conscience follows me everywhere. I know I have to fill out those forms.  And not just one page.  We’re talking projects.

This week, I decided to take … Continue Reading

“Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere.” – The Evernote People.

Lauren Davidson says: Evernote is the open-source equivalent to Microsoft’s OneNote… minus the Microsoft monopoly bugs and glitches, and plus oodles of options and add-ons to expand it’s uses with your Mac, PC, iPhone or other mobile device. Evernote takes the place of note pads, scratch paper, sticky notes and “favorites files”.  En somme, … Continue Reading

If you’re already an iPhone user, you’re probably tech friendly enough to use this amazingly cool Evernote function.  Granted, this doesn’t have much to do with staying organized.  However, finding you car every time can sure go a long way towards staying SANE – and keeping avoidable stress at bay.

How does Wiki-based coaching work?

After your first session, our goals and Action Plan will be posted on the wiki, along with my notes and links to valuable resources.  Each time we speak or meet, the golden nuggets are posted on the wiki.  This means no more lost notes and forgotten goals. No more worrying about getting off-track in between live sessions.

The best thing about the wiki is its flexibility.  You can work with me when I’m with another client, when I’m travelling or sleeping.  Whether it’s a brief question,  a group discussion including a mentor or colleague, I’ll get your thoughts in … Continue Reading
