For this Thing# 16 post I have to talk about the starter page, an online calendar or to-do list tool, and another tool that would help to organize myself better. The starter page I chose was Symbaloo. I liked this tool because it looked a lot like the desktop of my PC with the various icons and such. It did not take long to figure out how to use it. There were just endless tiles or webmixes to choose from that you could easily spend a lot of time browsing if you are not careful. I would use this tool for school.
The calendar tool I picked was Remember the Milk. It is super easy to use. Coming from a non-techy person, that says a lot. So kudos to Remember the Milk for making a to-do list tool simple. I liked the name of the tool too. As a mom, I am always trying not to forget what we need to get from the grocery store. After living overseas while raising young children, and having to shop the odd hours of our local commissary, we've gotten in the habit of bringing home a gallon of milk every time we went to the store. The name of this tool can help me to remember to check my list. At least, that is the intent.
The other tool I chose was Habit Forge. The focus of this tool is to provide users support in breaking a bad habit by substituting it with a good habit. It sends you reminders to try new habit everyday for a certain amount of time. It also connects you with others who are trying to do the same thing. I liked this because I have wanted to start doing more exercises and it is hard for me to make time for myself to do so. I would use this tool for personal use.
I would recommend all three of these tool to others.
