Helpful Tech

         No one can dispute the countless benefits technology has brought us. It has undoubtedly allowed us to connect, perform, improve and leverage our resources beyond what was once imaginable. We all make daily use of a wide variety of different tools and devices to make life easier and more comfortable. How many tools and apps are you currently using to optimize your time? Time management is a skill you can use in all areas of life: school work, social life, hobbies, career, family, work and even everyday chores and appointments. Time management is a broad category that includes prioritization, scheduling, goal setting, and other techniques to help you be productive and motivated, and to make sure you have time for everything that is important to you.
            The computer, tablet, or smartphone you’re using to read this very blog post can also provide you with access to some effective tools for time management and can also be a means of making the most of your time. An online calendar can help you keep track of your own appointments and can also help you schedule and coordinate meetings with others. An added benefit: whether you’re checking your appointments from your desktop computer, your smartphone, or your tablet, you’ll be able to track your schedule anytime, anywhere.
            Consider using web-based applications to share documents and collaborate on projects. Each member of your project team can see the changes and comments made by others. You can also be sure you’re all seeing the same document, without the hassle of sending multiple copies of the same document via e-mail.
            Have a smartphone? This technology tool provides e-mail, messaging capabilities, reminder lists, and a calendar (and, of course, a telephone!) all in one handy tool. Your smartphone comes with many of these capabilities, but you can download additional apps to boost your productivity and help you save and manage your time.
