To do lists

I admit to being a to do list junkie. Mainly because if I don't write something down, it's out of my head 2 minutes later. Remember the Milk is something that I love playing with, but when it comes down to it, I really prefer putting paper to pen. That way I can add my own doodles. I think RTM would be great, though, if you were working on something collaboratively and needed a list that could be accessed by multiple people. I love how it interacts with other tools!

Jott is one of my favorite tools of all time. I'm often out running errands or going somewhere with just my cell phone on me. It's so easy and convenient to be able to call Jott if I think of something I don't want to forget and get that wonderful email reminding me later. I'm a mumbler by trade, so it took me a while to speak loudly enough and clearly enough to get a good transcript of my speech, but over time I figured it out and can usually decipher what I meant. :)

All tools won't work for all people, and I think one of the things we're trying to get across in Project Play is that a lot of these tools are for collaborating, for communicating, and for connecting. Yes, you might not use them on your own, but think of how they might be handy at your library to work with staff, volunteer groups, reading groups, or other colleagues who might not be in the same library, city, or state.
