Website Update - Organisation

Posted by Simon

It’s been a while since I’ve wrote on this blog and there have been many reasons for this. If you have multiple blogs/sites then trying to balance projects with real life can get tedious.

At work chances are you use a program such as Microsoft Outlook to keep tabs on meetings, to do lists and events. Why not take the same approach when it comes to an online task such as a blog entry, a website update, running a backup job?

One approach could be that you write an article and set it to publish in the future which means that no intervention from yourself or an author is needed, a post and forget scenario. But for other things why not use Google calendar?

Google calendar is still in beta but you expect is what you get. Able to organise your day, week, month adding in items, even the ability to share with friends and family.

As you can see from the above screenshot I haven’t anything on this week, or have I? This is the main point of this post. Technology exists so why not us it? Using such an application can result in being more productive as well as being organised. Putting in an event for an outing, creating a blog post, running an update, or even a brainstorm session can help get motivated. From next week I am planning on using Google Calendar to help organise my busy schedule
