(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Have you heard of Jott.com? It’s got to be one of the coolest things I’ve heard about in a while – and I’m right on the fence of starting to use it.
Jott.com is a website where you sign up for a membership. In turn, you get a phone number that you can call from anywhere. The coolness starts when you’re driving down the road and remember something you need to do.

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) – Last week, I watched this interview of Virgin’s Richard Branson which is from TED Talks series (highly recommended). It’s taken me a whole week to make sense of Branson’s ideology and how it relates to the organized office. It’s that good.
The thing is – Richard Branson is a brilliant, brilliant man. He has started dozens of companies under the Virgin name and most of them have been astoundingly successful. And in light of his success, he’s also a poster child for those of us with ADD. Watch him – the man doesn’t sit still.

I’m constantly in awe of business owners’ ability to generate brilliant ideas for their business on an ongoing basis.
