Comments on: Implementing Your New Year Plan http://www.caryschmidt.com/2009/12/implementing-your-new-year-plan/ Lancaster Baptist Church, Pastor Paul Chappell Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:29:52 -0700 hourly 1 By: Tommy Burgess http://www.caryschmidt.com/2009/12/implementing-your-new-year-plan/comment-page-1/#comment-1604 Tommy Burgess Mon, 28 Dec 2009 03:52:57 +0000 http://www.caryschmidt.com/?p=2083#comment-1604 I do not have trouble keeping up with "things to do" or projects because I used "Things for Mac" to keep track of these items. One of my organizational weaknesses is keeping track of notes I take from phone calls. This often leads to a failure to follow up on something I promised a customer. So I have started keeping a binder on my desk to log phone call notes. From there, I enter promises I made to a customer into my "to do" list so I can stay current and follow up on the promises I made. So far, so good with this system. For the record, iCal is a great computer program and if you have an iPhone, the "Contacts" program is a great way to keep up with contacts. Both iCal and Contacts sync with your computer and iPhone so you always have access to this information in the event you misplace your phone or you leave your charger at home (like I did last week when I had to travel to Houston, TX). This is my two cents worth - if it's worth that much. :) I do not have trouble keeping up with “things to do” or projects because I used “Things for Mac” to keep track of these items.

But I lacked the know how to be able to allow my secretary, wife, and myself access to the info. across multiple computers. I also wanted to be able to control who sees what. I've found an online soultion at Famundo.com . No ads or nonsense, just tools. I can set up multiple users and control who can view each item on my calendar. Some items can be seen by anyone, my secretary, or just my wife and I. We use it for our church calendar and have it linked to our website. It has e-mail reminders as well as reminders on the site when you log on. I can also post to-do lists for myself or other staff. It works well for us, and we're moving it it for all our scheduling in 2010. For a long time I had wanted to start using Outlook to implement my plan and schedule.

I am so good at making plans, but not so good at implementing them. This is so practical, even for us stay-at-home wives and moms who don't have all those important meetings - but we have that all-important job of guiding the house! I’m loving this series!
