I am always looking for new ways to get myself organized. One of my favorite tools to help with this is Google Keep.
Let me start off by saying I am definitely a Google girl! I am always discovering new products by them (or at least new to me) that I end up using all the time. In fact, I stumbled upon Google Keep one day when I was bored and was looking at new apps I could download onto my phone. Thank goodness for that day of boredom oh so long ago!
What is Google Keep?
Google Keep is like a bulletin board for your phone where you can post pictures, to-do lists, and more. You can color code these lists, scribble messages to yourself, and even set a timer reminder.
How it has changed my life:
I used to have multiple apps with all sorts of lists. With so many apps, I would honestly forget things. I was also using a lot of memory on my phone. Now, I use one app for everything and it syncs with my Google account so I can access this from any computer or device. Since using Google Keep, I no longer worry about my phone going missing because everything I need to save is available in other places.
Here's how I use it:
I started off small. First I created a list for groceries. This was a simple list with boxes I could check off after shopping. I then added lists for birthday gift ideas for people and Christmas gifts I bought throughout the year, so I wouldn't duplicate a gift or overbuy for a person.
Now I have lists for EVERYTHING I can think of! I have to-do list for larger projects for summer, websites to visit, my class list for teaching, etc. I also will write myself little reminders of things I would like to do and set up an alarm to actually remind myself to do it! One of my favorite features is the color coding so I can have the different areas of my life coded to find my lists easier. Google Keep has definitely made my life easier!
What organization hack do you have?
