Thing #7: Productivity & Collaboration Tools

I had fun looking through the list of possible tools and choosing the ones I wanted to try out. In the end, I couldn't choose just two, so I ended up with three.

First I tried Workflowy which was from what I could tell very simple and easy to use as a to-do list that you could add and remove things from throughout the day. It is nice that it's web based so you could access your to-do from anywhere....and it wouldn't get lost like your standard handwritten to-do list could. I definitely would use this again if I knew I had a list that I needed to access from multiple places.

Next, I signed up for Delicious. This was a very neat concept as there are times I think "dang, I favorited that at home and I don't remember the site now". Having to just remember the delicious site seems to be much easier! I think it is also useful for those favorited items that you may not look for too regularly, but would like to keep saved. I will continue to use this in the future.

I also signed up for Evernote which also appears to be quite simple in concept, but a good idea nonetheless. As with the to-do list, I like being able to access these items from anywhere and I think it might definitely be a useful place to store a bunch of recipes. I'm sure there are uses for this tool that I haven't even thought about yet but will continue to ponder.

Another interesting week! Thanks CDLC :)
