New tools for NI Week and the rest of your life

For those of you not using Jott and Google Calendar, and are attending NI-Week this year... I suggest you get on the bus.

I am a real mess...horrible at planning and remembering times dates people and places.

BUT!!!

I found that using 2 tools (FREE) I have been able to get my proverbial "shit together"

JOTT:

  1. Need to remember a conversation you just had, or something that you or someone else said, or promised to do or follow up?
  2. Call a toll free # on your phone and leave a voice jott for yourself. It's kind of like leaving a voice mail for yourself... but check this shit out...
  3. AUTOMATICALLY VOICE TRANSCRIBES your message and makes it available online and you can attach reminders that get sent via SMS and e-mail!!!

why you should care:

How often have you met someone or said you would meet someone or send someone something, only to get really A.D.D. and forget 2 seconds after walking away. especially at the worlds biggest distraction for techies a.k.a. NI week

GCal (google calendar)

Awesome tool for general calendar tracking, but the 3 things that make it stand out amongst the rest

  1. Sends Free SMS reminders to your cell reminding you of that important session you didn't want to miss, along w/ the room or whatever details you want
  2. Integrates with microsoft outlook so you can get your regular meetings SMS'd to your phone
  3. Integrates with JOTT!!!! so that you can actually set meeting VIA VOICE!! w/out ever needing to touch a computer

Also you can share your calendars or add other peoples shared calendars to yourself so if your trying to aligh meetings or follow a specific meeting track that someone else might post as a public calendar, you can now see it on yours.
