Do you find that sometimes you do your best thinking or problem solving when you're driving in your car, out for a jog or on your morning walk?  Do you find that you have a hard time remembering those thoughts or important dates while away from your computer?  How do you keep yourself organized? Trying to remember all of your personal tasks like staff meetings, PTO meetings, dr. appointments, kid's athletic practices and lessons, deadlines for work, and special events or celebrations can be a daunting and sometimes overwhelming task.  I recently learned about this free cool tool (Jott Basic) on the interent from a colleague who is always on the go and manages to keep himself organized by using Jott.com.  Check it out.....

Jott offers three different levels of monthly plans, Jott Basic (free), Jott (fee based) and Jott Pro (fee based).  Jott can turn your words into action by allowing you to easily stay in touch and on top of your day-to-day tasks. For example, as you are driving into work you remember you need to call and schedule a doctor's appointment.  Simply call Jott at 1-866-JOTT-123 and leave yourself a note. Jott will capture your message and send you an e-mail reminder - of course you can pay for an account that will send these reminders right back to you through your voicemail. 

Another scenario might be something like this; you have just left school when another teacher stopped you about planning for the next in-service day. You agreed on a date and time to meet- but you had to dash out to pick up the kids before putting the event on your calendar. Call Jott and leave a message so your meeting will be added to your Google Calendar.  If you Twitter or update on Facebook you can quickly stay in touch and update your favorite web sites and services.....all by simply using your voice and the JOTT line. Jott makes creating and maintaining to-do lists simple - all it takes is one phone call. Got a thought and don't want to forget it or don't have a place to write it down what you need to do, just call Jott, say the name of the list you want, and leave a message. Your voice message is converted to text and added to the list you've identified.

With Jott's online to-do lists and downloadable Apps for your desktop, Outlook, and iPhone, you can turn your words into action. Set reminderson your notes, organize them into lists, prioritize them, or mark them as complete when you are finished. All of your lists stay in sync no matter which application you are using. Jott is quite possibly the easiest-to-use note-taking and list service available.Free LinksThe free links are available to all Jott users, regardless of what plan you choose.Twitter, Amazon, Blogger, Jaiku, Facebook, Live Journal, Tumblr, Typepad, Wordpress, and Zillow.
