In My Spare Time I...
- Hang out with my husband Marty, and our kids Arthur and Rosmery
- Play baritone sax in a funk band
- Practice Tae Kwon Do
- Shop on eBay (... it's gonna be the death of me!)
- Build Jack-o-Lanterns that run Linux.
- Try to get myself more organized!
Here are some tools that I'm finding very helpful:
- Nozbe - Manage my tasks - works especially well with David Allen's "Getting Things Done" methods, and connects with all the other tools I need.
- Google Calendar - I use add-ons to automatically sync this to my Thunderbird calendar at home, and my Exchange calender at work, so they're all up to date. It can also show my task due dates from Nozbe.
- Jott - Add tasks to my Nozbe list, and events to my Google calendar from anywhere by speaking them into my cell phone.
