ARoundTuit Organizing & Productivity

Evernote and Shoeboxed have put an end to the universal struggle of managing receipts and business cards.  Even I, professional organizer, had a pocket of business cards in my work bag, waiting to be made useful…

Until now!  I’m pretty sure the only easier way than this is chuck the papers in the trash and not bother at all.

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

Anyone here ever heard of Alexander Kjerulf?  If not, you’ll want to.  He’s made a business out of helping people be happy at work.  Here’s Alex’s workplace productivity theory (click here to read the full article):

Now, I don’t believe for a minute that a worker with inadequate productivity skills, but who is very happy, will get more done than a skilled,

“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.

Stay tuned for more everyday applications for Evernote, your free, open-source virtual memory.

Watch this great demo with Prasad Thimmeneini, CEO and Founder of Pixily. If you think it’s a great idea, but don’t know where to start in your piles and piles of paper (yes, I know), just drop me a line to talk about it.

Easy as 1-2-Pixily!

I just got off a 30-minute live chat with a PIXILY rep to learn more why it’s worth telling you about. Remember, I don’t recommend anything here without fully researching, and many times trying it myself, first.

Here’s what impresses me about Pixily:

1. It’s as easy as you want.At the minimal level, all you have to do is accumulate papers for a month, stick them in the pre-paid USPS envelope or FedEx box, and ship them off to be scanned. If you choose not to name them or download the PDF’s, they will … Continue Reading

There’s no discussion that the most viable way to backup your computer is online, or on a remote server.  Why?  Because the fewer steps seperating you from what you need to accomplish, the more likely you are to get it done.  In the age of technology, that means automating as many routine tasks as possible.

So, last week when my laptop went belly-up, all I had to do after a system restore was log onto MOZY.com and restore my files.  What a wonderful feeling knowing that my files were … Continue Reading

I confess, my Bluetooth is MIA.  Last fuzzy recollection of a sighting was last week.  Perhaps in the car, or maybe I brought it in with my work bag, son’s back pack, laptop, library books and groceries.  Could be I was actually using it when I came in.  Having looked through the likely and unlikely surfaces and containers, the device is nowhere to be found.

Naturally, I start fantasizing about the ultimate homing device for a Bluetooth: small, with a dozen trackable devices (suits our family of 7 with 5 cell phones).  I did not find exactly … Continue Reading

No offense, but by the way most women’s purses and business bags are designed, it looks to me like the designer is not a woman.  He doesn’t carry two pairs of glasses, dental floss, cosmetics, a spare pacifier for the baby – you get the picture. 

How happy would you be, ladies, to no longer have to RUMMAGE through the deep darkness of the bottom of your bag for the mirror and breathmints after a delectable meal of herb foccacia and garlicy grilled vegetables?  Nevermind that you probably should have avoided that meal at a business … Continue Reading
