There are several activities that I’ve had trouble keeping up with: I’m not a good Twitterer, I slip behind in keeping up with reading blogs, and I’m not too good at updating my Facebook page. For a while, I felt these were just activities that created too much drag on my system. Over the holidays, however, I had enough time to explore and try out iGoogle.
To my delight, I found a Remember the Milk gadget that keeps my list for the week neatly organized. I added a weather gadget because I’m always watching the radar for a window of less unpleasant weather for walking with the dogs. Totally inspired, I tracked down a Twitter gadget and hooked up my Twitter account to Facebook so I now update both at the same time. Another tab holds my RSS feeds from the blogs I am most interested in keeping up with. Poof! Friction lowered and more gets done.
