thing 13

My google home page has a lot of useful stuff on it, my favorite widget for example is the "laundry countdown" clock which is really helpful considering how forgetful I am. I am a relatively old fashioned girl however and I have always found that when things are online I am way more likely to forget about them. If I tried to manage my life via google calendar or any other sort of online productivity tool I would be really fracked. If I am making a list or writing down an appointment it needs to be on a post it note or somewhere else that I can visibly see it and even move it around with me. Perhaps one day if I ever get to the point where I am online enough to justify using these tools then I might find them useful, however right now in my life they just seem like more of a nuisance than anything.
