Finding Time to Get Organized – New Technology in the New Year

Posted on December 9, 2008, under Time and Technology.

Finding time to get organized, and then stay organized, is a perennial challenge. As more and more information becomes available to us, it is also an increasingly difficult challenge to sort out what is useful and what is not.

These things present time challenges that the New Year often brings to the fore, as we open brand new calendars and make resolutions to exercise more, eat better, take better care of ourselves, spend more quality time with our families and friends, get rid of the clutter on our desks … you get the picture.

In support of your time management efforts, I thought it would be very timely to share this list of Web 2.0 tools from OpenJason (an open source web developer and administrator). It is an extremely thorough list of web-based time management and organizational tools which can be applied in your home and work lives!

Of course, finding the time to check into all of these intriguing tools is, in itself, a challenge. That’s why lists such as OpenJason’s are such a great help. The applications have been previewed, so you know you’re looking at something that works. The biggest question for you to answer, then, is whether a particular time management or organizing tool would be useful for you.

I will, in the coming weeks, be occasionally offering more information about one or another of the web-based time management tools on this list. I’d love to hear from you, as you explore some of these offerings! Whether it’s My Stickies (which allows you to place sticky note reminders for yourself on the web) or iStats (a web-based application that allows you to log your fitness endeavors, create teams, track progress, etc.) or iubo (a personal, web-based search engine for organizing, finding, and sharing your digital content) many of these tools look like they could be just the thing for the new year!

What do you discover as you explore OpenJason’s list? Drop me a line, I’d love to hear!
