Thing 16

    I decided to use iGoogle as my start page. The main reason that I chose this is because I already had an email account with Google and was more familiar with many of the google applications. One I set up my page, I was able to manage which features would automatically show on the page. I think this can help me save time in the future because the items that I frequently go to individually now are at one central location. I can check the weather, news, and glance at my email and to do lists from one page instead of several. I will definitely use this in the future as my start page.
    The online calendar will allow me to enter important appointments and events into a more mobile and manageable calendar that can be accessed from any place, not just from home or work. The to do list I chose, Remember the Milk, was easy to setup and edit on my computer and iPhone. However, it seems like it may be more effort than it is worth to constantly update the list. I think I continue to use this tool, but will be more selective on tasks that I place on this list. This will allow my to keep on track with the most important tasks while not getting too concerned with all of the less meaningful tasks.
    One of the tools that I find most helpful is the sticky notes feature. I am a big fan of real sticky notes, so this seems to be a very logical choice for me. I can quickly jot down notes, dates, and messages that can be added to contact lists, calendars, and task lists when I have more time. I think this tool would be most helpful for others as well. It will allow them to manage their day at a convenient time instead of spending every moment managing their time.
