Plotting Life Progress - A Paper Trail

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

The ???????? ????? ????????Flash in the Can Roadshow is coming through town this Saturday, are you going?

I was looking through the list of presenters and came across Jason Theodor’s website, there is no box.

Jason, like many of us, is busy and has found it helpful to keep small a reminder list to keep him on track in both his personal and professional life. Enter, his Mundane LifeFocus Cards!

The goal of the cards is to provide a simple framework that will help you keep important tasks and goals at the forefront of your busy day to day life.

You can download fillable PDF templates for a seven day, foldable card set at his website. Then just fill in your reminders, goals and to dos and go from there. The card also has a small space to track how much sleep you got each day (’cuz sleep is important!)

Don’t forget to track your progress.

I’m putting his system to the test to see whether it can work for me. I’ve tried Google calender, setting reminders in my phone and carrying lists with me before but all have fallen by the wayside.

The fact that a single piece of paper is used for seven days puts more emphasis on me actually maintaining the sheet and not losing ??????24 fox ringtones verizon ringtones nextel real music ringtones free cingular ringtones 24 ctu ringtones cell phone ringtones wallpaper cell phone ringtones verizon free cellular phone ringtones cellular phone ringtones samsung polyphonic ringtones free sprint cell phone ringtones 24 tv show ringtones hotlink caller ringtones free samsung ringtones hotlink maxis caller ringtones free motorola razr ringtones free motorola ringtones free t mobile ringtones for cell phone free t mobile ringtones free samsung x427 ringtones it (hopefully).

Cr-appberry

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

So I’ve been installing apps on my Blackberry and getting a feel for what’s out there. So far, I’m disappointed.

First shot, the facebook app. Hype around the web called this one Blackberry’s big reach for the consumer market. Unfortunatly, the missed the grab.

While the app let’s you do a lot of regular facebook’s functions the interface is clunky and linear. It’s a pain to check mail messages and does not sync with your web based account. So if you log in on a computer after checking messages on your phone, don’t expect things to balance out. I was back on the browser pretty quick after installing this app.

Next up, Gmail. I don’t have much to say about this one yet (I just installed it this afternoon) but I do have 1 question.

Why is big G trying to access my phone book info? And why, when I refuse access, must it crash the whole application and erase the mail I was composing?

Given that I used nearly a quarter of my monthly bandwidth to download these two cr-apps, I’m left saying: I want my bandwidth back!
