List five time management tools in your blog and briefly describe their use and relevance to the online world. Does the tool relate to personal, professional, or a combination of both?
If I were to apply the stereotypical divisions of personality, I am a definite Type A. Planning and organizing I thrive doing and have always been good at time management. I do NOT let grass grow under my feet. For example, I already have our entire Disney trip planned for next April which cannot even be booked yet (boo Disney--only boo because I LOVE it) until July! So these are some tools I found from http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/top-15-time-management-apps-and-tools.html that could be helpful even to someone like me =)
1. Universal Password Manager - This would be great for personal because I like Symbaloo for work. This is helpful because it warehouses multiple site passwords without having to play the guessing game or saving them to the site (which is not advised to do because we so readily forget them!).
2. Pocket - personal and professional - This is helpful because it is like being able to save something or "put it in your pocket" until later. It can be used for articles, sites, videos...pretty much anything you may want to come back to at another time when you did have time to read it or watch at that moment.
3. Remember the Milk - personal and professional - This allows one to make priority lists but also has enhanced features reminders, tags, locations, and URLs. It can even by synced with Evernote.
4. Google Calendar - personal and professional - I really like Google calendars because they can easily be shared and modified without having to send out an entirely new document. I like how it can be color coded as well as adding times and reminders.
5. Rescue Time - personal and professional - This is great to measure lack of productivity at home but also with students instead of focusing on their schoolwork. It sends weekly reports to let you know time you have on applications and websites and can provide a detailed report based on ones daily habits.
