Reading Time: 3 min Over the years I’ve worked hard to keep my digital life in a place where I can freely move from device to device without worrying about being too locked in to one system.

Google Keep is the best solution for quick notes
Reading Time: 3 min It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Asana for task management. For keeping up with projects, assignees, timelines and notes, Asana is tough to beat. That said, all of us at GreenMellen keep a small to-do list on the side for quick thoughts and notes. I’ve bounced around to a few different solutions […]
Revisiting the Google Chromebooks
Reading Time: 2 min Just over four years ago, I first shared my experience with a Google Chromebook. Now I have a new one to play with and I’m quite impressed!

DropBox app is coming soon
Reading Time: < 1 min I’m a huge fan of DropBox. I use it daily for personal file storage and for sharing files with others. I even made a short video a few weeks ago showing how it helped me stay more efficient during the day. When I heard they had an app coming out, I was mildly excited. However, […]
Google Notebook and Jott become less useful
Reading Time: < 1 min Google Notebook and Jott are two of the cogs in my GTD system, and both just announced news that makes them less desireable. Jott has just announced that they are ending their free service as of February 2. I was considering upgrading to their paid service anyhow so I could send notes directly to Nozbe, […]
