With the new equipment, new tools...
I've been making some progress with moving from Win 98 to XP (finally) and using the iBook more confidently. In addition to the new computer, I've been trying out new tools. Just before the new year I came across an offer for a Gmail account via another blog (thanks Tim), so now I have been trying that out. Through the same blog I discovered Gmail Tips by Jim Barr, which is definitely good guidance for accelerating my understanding of just how different this email tool is. I had already discovered some of the cool features, such as search and labels, but there is a lot more to consider as I try develop better approaches to dealing with information and keeping track of disparate and connected topics. I also found this link on how to use Gmail as a second brain, which I will try out. There are loads of tools available for increased productivity and organization - I don't want to try them all, but I do want to find what works well for me - these suggestions seem like a good start.
