Thing # 16

I created a customized start page using iGoogle. It was fast, easy, and pretty interesting when it was completed. I'll have to mess around with it a little bit more to get it exactly how I want it, but I'm impressed so far. I'm probably not going to make the one I created my permanent homepage, because my wife and I share our home computer, so we'd have to create one that includes both of our preferences- which wouldn't be too hard to do if we get around to it. The online calendars can be useful because you could pull them up from anywhere you have internet access. I love being organized. Creating "to do" lists or just getting everything in order is usually the first thing I do before starting any project. I may borderline on being overly organized- so I found these tools pretty useful. As far as the online "to do" lists, I kind of feel like there is too much work involved with them. I make to do list all the time, but that's all it is... a list of stuff I need to do. I like carrying it around with me and marking it off one by one. Simple and effective. Many of these tools would come in very handy as a student or teacher. I find that in order for me to be successful, I have to be organized, and tools that will help me be organized are great to have.
