To-Do Lists and Online Organization

At Surpass Hosting we like to make everything fast and simple. That’s just how getting things done with your website should be so your focus is on content and the big picture. In an effort to reach the ocean of easiness, we’re focusing on organization. That “spring cleaning” bug is still in the air for us! Organizing the rest of your tasks can help your online activities, so let’s get started with a few tips.
(Before the big fish comes.)

There are websites out there that can really help you to remember things that you need to do. They also can keep track of thoughts that magically pop into your mind throughout the day (and just as easily pop out to be forgotten). You may already jot ideas down on paper, in a text file or even real paper, but sometimes it seems that you may not catch everything. I think the answer is to stick to one method and make it a routine. Here are a few ways to prioritize - hopefully one of them works just right for you.

Phone reminders with Jott.com: If you aren’t into typing and would rather talk instead, Jott may be for you. Just call the toll-free phone number and enter your PIN code. Record your thoughts and they’ll be emailed to you in text and in voice for review later. There’s also other options like email or text message reminders. Since Jott is currently in beta, it is free during this time. So you can try it out to see if you get hooked!

Email reminders with IWantSandy.com: Have you ever dreamed of having your own personal assistant? Sandy is standing by. She has her own language to keep up with times, dates and more in order to send you email reminders or text messages just when you need them. When you sign up for Sandy, you receive her special email address to send your notes to. Then she really dives in and handles all of the rest! And did I mention how very polite she is? (You can even send messages to Sandy through Jott and also Twitter.)

To-do list program, Tudumo: I’ll tell you up front that this handy program is not free, but you can try it for 60 days to see if it’s your style. It’s a very compact program to keep track of just about anything you want. It really has a simple look and feel and I think if you are used to writing down things on paper, this could be a very easy transition because it does not give you an overwhelming feeling of buttons and menus. Tudomo explains that best! If you get attached to this snappy-as-snappers list maker, it’s only $29.95 USD after the trial is over.

More quick mentionables:
Ta-da List: Make lists for yourself or share lists with others. It also is iPhone compatible.
Remember the Milk: Another iPhone compatible, Twitter friendly, Gmail and Google Calendar crunchable lister.

Ah, I ran out of fish jokes.
