Computer says yes: sync your life to save time
There are applications that are intended to make fun of cleaning and websites that catalog the contents of their shelves. Oliver Burkeman in a very modern to organize your life
Technologywas supposed to make things simple. This, of course, was the famous promise of the 1960s, now laughable estimates of life in the 21st century: flying cars, robots that do housework and commercial electronic consoles that look strangely clumsy old televisions. ("What a woman chooses her console," a documentary from 1969 said, "will be paid by the husband of your console.") But it is often still a promise: "simple" is the point of sale of almost all applications, phone or a tablet, and when Mark Zuckerberg wants to convince of the benefits of selling your soul to leave the advertisers, there's a reason the term is used lubricant "friction free hand" - it seems full of tranquility. The problem is that technology has an irritating way of making things more complex, along with making them simpler. And it is increasingly clear that when he tries to use to organize.
Most of us, when we speak of being "more organized" is the expression of a desire for a greater sense of control - on the remaining tasks facing us, clogging clutter our homes and e-mails, electronic files and printed that colonize our computers and coffee tables. In principle, modern appliances make it much easier to achieve that control. But it also means that it is infinitely more "stuff" to control. There are, for example, some wonderful ways to use an iPhone or Kindle for organizing their "heads to read" books, magazine articles, etc.. Other hand, without a handheld device, connected to reading on the Internet, you can not have been blissfully unaware of much reading material in the first place? There, at the time of writing, 7.161 and 3240 applications for iPad iPhone applications that promise to improve your productivity - but not so when it is not in his days of experimenting with them. Advances in mobile technology have made things worse: when the material is accessible to all parties feel that they not be in control of it follows her everywhere, too. But if you are not yet ready to give up the digital life and move up a mountain, here are some tips and tools to make your appliances work you rather than vice versa.
Synchronize
A relative veteran in terms web, Evernote (Mac, PC, mobile iPhone and most smart) is essentially just a file that lives in the "cloud" - the name given to the not very ethereal ethereal data centers around the world in which our information and software stored each time. But the metaphor obscures the potential filing of the idea. Evernote - like its competitors Microsoft and OneNote Springpad-has to do with "universal capture" and "device agnostic" draw text files, web pages, audio and pictures on it, and all are instantly available on all devices, everywhere. Find a recipe online in the morning, push a button and be there on your phone when you go shopping at night. Take a picture of your business card, for example, or a book page, and will be there on your laptop (Evernote does a very good job of recognizing text, too, so you can search for words in these images). Every effort is the key here: manually move documents between devices is not difficult, but remember to do it can certainly be
- There are countless websites and applications to manage your task list - Ta-Da List, Toodledo, and Producteev Wunderlist are all worth investigating - but that, inevitably , a big problem: the more you try to run the life of a smartphone or tablet, the more time you have to spend connected to devices. (Based on cloud applications face another obstacle - which is not very useful in places where you can not connect to the Internet.) No wonder the Moleskine notebooks are so popular among web designers and type: for some tasks, the paper is still the best. Work to which the band is more appropriate that reminds you of birthdays, anniversaries, etc.. Lots to do applications can do, but Remember The Milk is always easier to use. It is especially useful for those who are "trial offers" that depend on that forget to cancel, but ask RTM to remind you by e-mail, and never will Organize your life online
Kiss scanning
radical
is not an argument to say it makes sense to go all the way: if you go to save anything in the cloud, why not store all that there? Evernote or something similar, can handle all the paperwork (although not everyone is happy to download financial information, for example, such services). Withdrawal that a digital camera can be used as a scanner. Google The game can store your music. The last step is to digitize all books and magazines physical hard, and then sell or give. (This bit is a chore, but there are instructions to do so in is.gd / EFCWof.)
