Create 1.1.1 Time Management Quest

For this quest I chose to highlight a couple of time management tools I use on a daily and a couple I have recently learned about from this quest.

My first tool is Google (and technically everything Google) but especially Gmail, Google Task, Google Calendar, and Google Drive.
  •  These tools are great for both my personal and professional management being able to highly organize set reminders on my emails and schedule appointments right from my emails and beyond is priceless to me. Additionally having my Google apps linked with my cell phone make these tools even more effective. 
My second tool is Evernote (have you guys ever used this?) Well if you have not you should.
  • If you are like me I feel like I constantly have to write things down so that I have a point of reference. Evernote lets me do that but instead of keeping my notebooks scattered around or cluttered in my desk they are now housed in a notebook "cloud". This is a free app with upgrade features that you can even share and assign tasks to. It is a wonderful tool for time management. 
The 3rd tool that can aid in time management I would like to highlight is Outlook. This tool again can be used for both personal and business.
  • Outlook has a variety of time management tools built in within it calendar functions. This tools allows you to check for other availability, rescind meeting requests when you cannot make it, schedule recurring time for repeat events, and also set alerts to remind others. There is an out-of-office assistant and you can create multiple calendars if needed. 
Cozi is a service that I learned about within our quest. Cozi it main feature is that it simplifies family life. So it is best used for personal.
  • There is a shared calendar, grocery list, to do list and after school activities with more. The app and website have been ranked very reliable and it has the ability to be imported into Google Calendar and other internet calendars. With this app you only need one account for the entire family to help you get things done and it is free and accessible across multiple platforms.
Last but not least is Wiggio. Wiggio is a time management tool that can be used for personal, educational or business purposes.
  • Built like a wiki page, Wiggio allows you to set up phone conferences it also give you a calendar with update events, so that you are sure not to miss. Additional features allow you to have virtual meeting create and assign tasks. Send voice messages, poll groups , and hhave access and contribute to a shared folder.
