So this week I completed a project I've been putting off. It only took about 20 minutes and it's already saved me more than that, you gotta love organization!
In the world of technology, if you're anything like me, you have usernames and passwords to account after account. Email, websites, autoresponders, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. Up to this point, I'd been keeping my usernames and passwords in a notebook - list style, which worked out really well for a while...until the list became 5 pages long, boo.
Every time I needed a password, I'd scan through the multipage list looking for the right one and each time it bugged me. Then a lightbulb moment (ta-da!). I decided to write my usernames and passwords with the program/website they belong to in a small extra address book I had laying around.
Now they are all grouped alphabetically, so when I'm staring at my Netflix screen wanting to watch a movie (and I could have sworn I'd asked it to remember my log-in information for me), I can grab my little black book of passwords, flip to 'N' and there it is - in less time than it would take to request an email reminder and way less time than it did to scan 5 pages of passwords, yahoo!
Do you have a time saving organization system for your technological life?

Creativity and Joy,
