So what are we going to talk about? Whatever you want! I've got some ideas on using email, calendars, and some online resources to keep control over our electronic lives. I'd like to share them, and have you share some of what's worked, what hasn't for you. But, I think what people need is really unique to the individual and what works for you. Comment here if you want to see a topic covered that we haven't talked about yet.

So lets talk about email... Answer the following questions:

1. How many emails do you get a day? (If you don't know, guess)
2. How often do you check email?
3. What is your strategy on responding to email?
4. What do you do with your email once you've responded to it?

My answers follow after the break.

So, today's topic is passwords. I don't have specific questions, because I don't want you to necessarily post on a public blog that you keep your passwords in a file folder on the third drawer on the right! But, please chime in with thoughts. I've detailed some of my discoveries after the break. (Click continue reading...)

Also, check out the email post from earlier. There are more comments, and those of you who haven't commented, go for it! The captcha seems to be letting comments through even if it doesn't tell you that it worked. (Still working on that...)

How about calendars?

I've been tinkering around with a greatly updated version of MeetingMaker which really finally looks like we're going to get this summer. It got me thinking about how I used to use my calendar, and I want to try to get back to it.

How much do you use an electronic calendar? Is it MeetingMaker, or do you rely on a Palm or some other calendar system? Do you use a paper planner? Do you use a combination of methods for tracking appointments? Do you use something separate for home and work? My answers are after the break. We'll talk more after I hear from what you guys do...
