4 Online Tools That Make Work Easier

1. Google Gmail

https://mail.google.com/mail/

Email may seem too obvious to warrant inclusion in such a list, but I was alive for a good long time without email, and for a good long time after that without web based email.  Prior to email you had two options for communication: snail mail, or the telephone.  The former was very time consuming, and the latter, very expensive (for long distance).


2. Independent Traveler.com

http://www.independenttraveler.com/packing

I do not have the luxury or need of travel at this time, but for those who have the work of packing, this is a great help. My mother loves this site.  You can create your own customized packing list from an extensive list of anything you could possibly need.  You can also add 10 additional items.

3. Mindjet Connect

http://www.mindjet.com/mindmanager/

This is for collaborative work: brainstorming, planning, and collaborating with versions for Windows and Mac.  It is a cloud storage service that provides a means of guiding and managing the entire process of a project for an organization of any size.

4. Skill Collector - Use Technology to Make Work Easier

https://www.skillcollector.com/automate-your-work/#E1

This site gives step by step instructions for establishing 3 things: a cloud notebook system using Evernote, a calendar using Google Calendar, and. one email system Gmail (also mentioned above), to which emails from all of your accounts are directed.  So this site includes 2 additional online tools, but what I really like is that it walks you through each step of getting set up with these sites.
