Tip of the week: Turn your phone into a secretary

(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.

You call the number Jott gave you, leave a message, which then dictates your message into an email. When you get back to the office, there’s your reminder waiting for you.

Or, let’s say, you think of something you want to tell someone while you’re away from your computer. You’re sure you’ll forget it if you wait, so you call Jott’s number. It will dictate a message and you can send it to anyone.

Having ADD means forgetting things mere seconds after they occur, so having this service would be a huge asset. Even if you don’t have ADD, how many times have you wished for a piece of paper and a second set of hands to write something down? Or kicked yourself later for forgetting something?

Since I heard about Jott, I’ve had at leas a half-dozen moments where I’ve caught myself wishing I’d already set it up. It’s just a matter of time now.

Best of all, it’s free.

Have you tried Jott.com? What might make you take the leap?
