Remember The Milk

In the beginning of this week I was looking at my once very beautiful red journal. I started to think about when I first brought it. The thoughts of all the great writing I was going to do flooded my mind. My beautiful red journal has now become a place where I put everything from my thoughts, to meeting notes, to quotes, friend’s numbers and notes to self. I decided I needed to find a system that would help me become better organized.

Realizing this made me question how to do a to-do-list. Could I handle more then one? I had to figure out what was going to make sense to me. Ready to take on this task I began by asking myself what kind of tools I needed. I knew organization was key and I wanted to it to be online since I'm always plugging away on my computer. I also felt it was important to be able to download an App so I can check off my to-do-list anywhere.

I then found the website www.rememberthemilk.com what a great name and one I will not forget. It breaks out work, personal, study tasks. It also can be linked to your iCalendar and you can share it with others. I have been using this site daily and it has kept me on track not just with work but also with personal goals. Give a try it’s a great tool and one I wanted to share with all of you.
