Thread: Nota Bene

The first step to increasing your productivity is to take notes whenever a noteworthy idea strikes you. You could turn to good old Notepad (we've been there), or install one of the billion "sticky notes" 'applications available on the Web. The drawback with these approaches, however, is the fact that notes you take at home won't come to the office with you, and vice versa. The most hassle-free solution, we've found. is Yahoo! Notepad.



Install Yahoo! Widgets and activate only the Yahoo' Notepad Widget (not that there's any¬thing wrong with activating others) on all the PCs you'll be using. When an idea strikes you, jot it down in the widget, and forget about it. The widget uploads this note to your online Yahoo! Notepad, and you can now access it from anywhere! We assume, of course, that you have Internet access at the aforementioned locations, otherwise this is admittedly pointless.
