Sandy — your free personal email assistant

June 3rd, 2008 | Popularity: 16% 4 commentsI may be late in finding this, but I have been living it for about 3 years now. Inbox Zero is great for everyone, and programs like Apple Mail and GMail make it easy because you can Archive messages in a single folder and search them easily. It’s interesting to peek at another person’s Inbox (without looking at the content) to see if they are an Inbox Zero person or not.
I think half the fun of watching this video is tracking the GenX/GenY speak of Merlin Mann, who operates 43 Folders. “The default state of an e-mail should not be ‘keep sitting here until I start weeping’.”
Medication Adherence messages; Tools for scheduling meetings
April 8th, 2008 | Popularity: 30% 0 comments | Leave a replyThe one thing that I haven’t quite been able to do well is scheduling meetings with people not on the same computer network. Come to think of it, I never figured out how to do it on the same network either. I looked at some tools below that are emerging that let you do that. I think the most promising looking one is Timebridge. They are also part of the iCal consortium, which supports calendaring standards.
- Talaria Publications – Bibliography for messaging using devices (cell phone, beeper, etc) in promoting medication adherence
- Free Scheduling Software | Integrate Outlook, Google Calendar & Exchange Availability – TimeBridge – I think this one is my favorite.
- Online Invitation service from MeetingWizard.com -
- Find a time, schedule group meetings, conference calls, virtual meetings, events -
- Meetings: Take Detailed Notes to Earn Bonus Points (and Prevent Boredom) – Fascinating. No one suggests making meetings more productive. Each one of these strategies is a measure of wasted time.
