Thing #13: Online Productivity Tools for Busy People


People seem to find the productivity tools they need. It's surprising to me that so many various types are available. I've investigated several organizational tools, including List keepers like Ta-da Lists and Gift Box, handy for people planning weddings and other big events. Rememberthemilk.com connects schedules and reminders with a shareable map.
Backpack could be very useful, with time lines, presentation-planners, and more. Scrybe must be for very busy people. The personal organizer Stikkit appears complicated, maybe because of an introductory video with no audio. On a more basic level, the Online Calendars at 30 Boxes could help teachers in planning learning units. Also, Zamzar's file converters are easy to access.
It's interesting that "Babble: The Ultimate Word Game" shows up as an online productivity tool. Everybody needs some play time, right?
My new iGoogle Home page sports a grassy banner and shows the date, weather, and news headlines. I should probably add the countdown calendar for the 23 Things on a Stick project. I see that not so many days are left to complete all 23.
