4 Tools to Help You Prioritize and Maximize Your Time

April 1, 2011 · 13 comments

In light of this month’s theme of taking inventory and prioritizing, I want to talk about one the most important things to prioritize, and that is – our time. I bet most of us are pretty busy on a day in and day out basis. Finding ways to both keep track of our time and our to-do lists and to use our time efficiently is very important both for sanity’s sake and for productivity and peace of mind.  Here are some really cool apps and online to-do lists that I found that can help you manage your time and prioritize:

iPrioritize

I personally like the tools that are free. I’ll use pencil and paper otherwise.

Hi gladys,

I can completely understand that. I am not quick to throw money at apps either unless i am pretty sure the app is worth it to me.

Thanks for commenting!

I’m with you Gladys! I’m a pencil and paper girl. Despite being immersed in technology, I get immense satisfaction out of crossing something off the list.

8 Libby Fisher April 5, 2011 at 10:49 am

I second that! :)

Hello Libby,

The apps you mentioned might be helpful but I can’t work with my phone to keep me on track so I am still a fan of the old post-it. I have an old monitor on my desktop and it’s full of post-it’s, I also have a system, the lower the post-it the higher the priority, and I had success with this method because the tasks are always in my face when I am at the computer or when I pass by it, which reminds me of the urgent tasks I have.

Hi alex!

I actually totally agree with you – i use post it notes more than anything else for to do lists but its really handy to have a mobile list when you need it. Its also handy to have an online list if you use more than one comper (as i do). That said, i like your system of prioritizing using post it notes, i may try that! :-)

Thanks for your comment!

Hi Tia,

I believe you can,I think you just access the mobile site – mobile.iprioritize.com. Does that work for you??

Thanks for commenting. :)

Thanks, Libby! Do you know if iPrioritize is compatible with the BlackBerry?
