Tool for Staying Organized: PocketMod

Posted on August 21st, 2007 in Tools, Organization by admin

Today I found an awesome little tool for staying organized, thanks to ZenHabits. It’s useful, the site is well-designed, and the concept is ingenius.

The tool is called PocketMod, and it’s a great, low-cost alternative to a PDA. In fact, it’s an an actual booklet. Made of paper. That you print out. And write on it with an actual pen.

Novel idea, huh?

You can customize the booklet with calendars, lined pages, checklists, and even Sudoku games! Then, you print out the booklet, fold it up, and stick it in your pocket. Just don’t forget to bring along a pen! :)

Often, I end up discovering some incredibly useful websites, which I inevitably bookmark and save for use in the future. Today, I’d like to share four of my most recent discoveries with you, my readers.

As I’ve said in the past, the goal of LifeChangingTools is to learn together…so some (if not all) of these websites may be old news to you. But if not, take a moment and check them out today! Each one has the potential to change your life, even in a small way.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/ - This one came as a recommendation from the one and only Joe Vitale, and I absolutely love it. The idea: you sign up for a free account, select a number of topics that interest you, download a toolbar, and you will discover websites catered directly to your interests. I’ve only been using it for one day, and I’ve already found some incredible websites…some which I know will become regular visits of mine! It’s a great little tool…check it out!

http://www.happyneuron.com/- This website is to your brain as the gym is to your body. We all know how important exercising your muscles is for overall health and longevity. But the mind needs just as much attention, if you want to live a long life - and stay mentally sharp until the very end!

100 Great Tips to Improve Your Life - An incredible list from some incredible authors, full of some of the most Life-Changing tips you’ll ever come across. A great read for a rainy day…0r, even better, a sunny day. :)

http://www.sharethis.com/ - This is a great little website/tool for anyone who enjoys sharing websites with friends, family, or colleagues. Just download the toolbar, and whenever you find a website that you’d like to share with anyone, just click the button and you can send it along without ever leaving the page! A great productivity tool…

More links like this to come…and hopefully to change your life, even in the slightest ways. :)
