Anyone who happens by my office will see I love sticky notes. I have them pinned to my bulletin board, they cover my computer desk, I have stacked of different colored ones in my drawers, I LOVE THEM! I actually think it's an addiction I need help with, but that's a problem for another day.
While I love my notes, and the feeling of crumpling them up when I've completed the tasks on them, they don't travel well. In fact, Hansel and Gretel should have used them instead of while pebbles to find their way home through the forest. So alas, my notes are only as good as the office I have placed them in, until now...(insert cheezy infomercial voice over here)
Google has once again rescued me with Google Keep. It's an app (
iOS and
Android) and a
website! Here I can make endless sticky notes for every task or job I have to accomplish, from my laptop, desktop, or phone. I can color code my lists (great for us A type personalities), include check boxes so I can "check off" what I have done, share them with my students or colleagues, set up reminders, and if my list becomes extremely long and detailed, I can copy it to Google Docs!
I have even shared this tool with my students as an option to keep track of their assignments, tasks, or whatever they need to do. Check this out! I can't believe how much more organized I feel by using this tool!
