Thing 17

Give a review of the tool you explored - what worked, what didn't work, how might it be used in your personal or professional life?

I set up an account for Remember the Milk.  I have struggled to find the best way to stay organized.  Like most people, I have commitments at work and at home.  Many people use their Google calendar, but I haven't used mine yet.  The Remember the Milk site allows people to set up an account and then to set up tasks that they must complete or appointments to remember.  The tasks/appointments can be tagged and given priority level.  These tasks are also sent as reminders to your e-mail account.  I had a lot of fun playing around on this site and could see myself using it for sure.  It really helps me to receive an e-mail reminder.  I check my e-mail often throughout the day.  Sometimes I forget to check my paper calendar, so an e-mail reminder would work really well for me.

Everything seemed to work well for me on this site.  There are shortcut letters on this site that stand for certain things.  It would probably take a while to learn the shortcuts and what they stand for if you were to attach those to your appointments/tasks.  Maybe I wouldn't even necessarily need to use them.

I would use this site both in my personal and professional life.  I could keep track of my work deadlines and obligations as well as my social calendar and daughter's activities.
