Thing #6

I chose the backpack organization website, http://www.backpackit.com/, from the shortlist. It got first place in organization. I really liked the site. I constantly find myself forgetting appointments and due dates, even now and it’s hard programming every date into my phone for reminders. It’s just as difficult to keep up with a small notebook planner. So this tool is very useful because it allows you to set up an online calendar that you could keep private, or for business you could make public. But then when you have an event due, the program will email it to you or text message it. The calendar itself has color coding and plenty of space, which is a problem I have with paper planners. In my future career, it will be nice to use a program like this so I can keep all my kids’ events and all my teaching events straight. The only thing I didn’t like, is that it is not a free tool.
