Brilliant! I’ve been going to the link, copying the URL, and saving to a document! No more!!

I looooove Evernote! But Facebook reminds me that I’ve saved posts and Evernote doesn’t…. You’ve got a system that works — stick with it.

Thanks, Rona!

Evernote!!

I save pages into “notebooks” in Evernote and then I set aside time to read what I’ve saved or at least know where things are when I need them again.

Great post, Sandra!

Thanks, Flora! We have similar styles. Don’t you love those Google calendar alerts? Regarding that phone timer, I also use mine for tasks that I don’t like or just don’t want to do — I set the timer for 30 min., then start working. For some reason, knowing that I have a pre-determined end time makes it more tolerable for me. Go figure.

Thanks Sandy for keeping us in the loop and updated. I’m putting this to immediate use.

For managing time, I start with an old-fashioned to-do list, and then add low-tech timer on my phone to push myself to finish tasks within specified times, usually an hour. To keep from missing deadlines, like trial periods or 30-day return guarantees, I put them on my Google calendar a few days ahead so they pop up on my notifications.

I’m glad it’s helpful, Karen! I’ve done that, too, but if I didn’t add a description that I’d remember to search for later, it would be more or less lost in my inbox. Now I know right where to find what I’ve saved, even if it’s a few weeks later.

Thanks so much for this useful tip! I have been “saving” links by sending them to my email. But then I felt overwhelmed by the avalanche of emails. This approach will be very freeing. Thanks again.
