RoboForm is a Great Time Saving Tool

]]> Don’t know why I put off getting RoboForm. I didn’t want to take the time to learn one more thing, set up one more tool. Yet, keeping track of passwords and filling out forms is a royal pain. The more time online, the more places I belong, the more blogs I manage, etc. , the harder it becomes to manager everything.

After watching Ben Fitts use RoboForm in one of his trainings, I decided to check it out. I went ahead and downloaded it today.

I posted on twitter about adding Roboform and got a nice tutorial from Mitch on getting started with Robo Form. Thanks Mitch! Great to read even before you set up and install RoboForm.

Only 24 Hours in a Day

Tunnels of Time by Fdecomite
Each of us have only 24 hours in a day. I’ve often thought ” If I could just clone myself” or “If I could magically add an extra 12 hours to a day”. As tempting as the thought would be, what would be the wear and tear on our bodies/spirit cramming more and more in each day.

I’d make a killer “To Do List” for Monday, that by Friday was still not finished. How depressing! I’d even get mad at myself for not getting a simple list completed.

A year and a half back, I was out of town for a couple days with my husband for his back surgery. I still have school kids at home, and took friends up on their offers to help. My grade schooler stayed with one of her best friends. Another friend was at the house after work and dropped the other kids off before heading in to work. One parent saw that my swimmers made it to and from swim practice.

When I visited my oldest daughter for the birth of her first baby, again I had several friends fill in for me, it took several. I realized that I’m not being a slacker, just too many things I want to do, saying yes to too many things.

I realized that there are more good things we can do in a day than we have time. The cool part about this is that we can pick and choose the very best things to do and do those. Much more fun than beating yourself up for not doing more. Save the other ideas for a rainy day.

I’ve also learned that technology has created tools I can use which save me time. Each tool takes time to learn, some take just a few minutes, others take so much more time to learn. I’ll be posting from time to time tools which I’ve used which save me time.
