So, here is the great irony of time management. I was supposed to put this post up last week and because of my poor time management, I missed my own deadline. Funny that!

So, without soaking up too much of your very valuable time I wanted to touch on some of the tools different people use to keep themselves on schedule.

Personally I use Google’s Calendar and Tada List by 37 Signals.

We’ve all seen Google Calendar and it’s pretty straightforward to use, I did download a little thing to keep iCal and Google sync’d up and then I read this help article. It seems to keep most things sync’d up between my phone and the online version.

For those of you who DON’T know about 37Signals and basecamp, you really should get to know them. They are an old web design shop that went the way of product design and wow, they do some amazing stuff. Do Tada List is pretty simple it’s an online to do list that you can share with whoever. For me, I use it when I’m in over my head. I jot down from the most important to the least important things to do that week and share it with my key personnel (aka my wife and sometimes my sister). Anyway, it’s definitely worth checking out.

So, some of the other suggestions I’ve received are TeuxDeux, from Freyanator. It’s another web based to do list that’s laid out in a day by day system. Very cool stuff. The ladies over at Dandy Lion Events also turned me on to Time Management Ninja. It’s a blog with sections dedicated to how to be more efficient with your email, your blog, your technology, etc. Definitely worth adding to the regular reads in your RSS feeder. That’s all for now! Have a great week and we’ll talk to you very soon!
