I am one of the biggest procrastinators you will ever meet. Sometimes I wish I could lock the internet to stop myself from spending endless hours on Facebook or Sporcle when I have a paper to write, a unit plan to create, a test to study for, or a technology project to finish (ha!). So when I saw that this activity was about online productivity, I was intrigued.
I already have an iGoogle homepage that I created in Thing 12, so I will just use it for this one too. I really like it because it's colorful, easy to navigate, and very very time-saving. All of my websites are in one spot. I probably won't make it my permanent homepage, but I will visit it occasionally. It has weather, Facebook, tv guide listings (for when I actually have time to watch tv), movie times, and recent news articles. This site is very useful!
I also already set up my Google Calendar, and have been receiving notifications to my email for about a week. I like this calendar because it is very easy to set up. I am a very organized person, so I like to know what's going on in my very busy life.
I LOVE to-do lists! I have to create multiple ones a week to keep my sanity. I make lists for everything, homework assignments, events I have to attend, groceries I need, everything! I usually just write them on post-it notes or whatever scrap paper I have available at the time. I really liked the Remember the Milk to-do list program. I tried to sign up for Ta-Da Lists, but for some reason it wouldn't work on my computer. But I really like the Remember the Milk one anyways. It lets you prioritize your tasks, put them in different categories, and set due dates. I will DEFINITELY be using these to organize my life!
