I can't tell you how many times I have registered to some cool website or application on an impulse and completely forget to use it from that day on. Part of the problem is that I use my iPhone for keeping up to date with my social networking so I use my laptop less and am less likely to recall a website I joined if I don't use my laptop for a couple days. Another part of the problem is that I usually just enjoy looking up sport scores or stories on my laptop and even that is not daily. Finally, the last use of my laptop is obviously homework.
Throughout the courses we have taken with Mike the past two years, he has introduced many organizational websites and apps and I am finally putting them to use. My new homepage is now symbaloo, where you are just on click away from opening up your favourite websites in other tabs. This one was big for me because I can just click on everything I want/should read. Once I read it, I can close it and just move on to the next tab.
Another way I organized my online life is by adding the links of my fellow classmates blogs to my own so I am able to see who has updated theirs and what they wrote about all by just entering my own site. I am actually hoping that they continue to blog because I have enjoyed reading what they had to say!
My goal is to use these resources as effectively as possible.
