Productivity software - Sandy and SyncMyCal
I’ve found 2 great pieces of productivity software in the last 24 hours. Sandy is an email-based personal assistant I read about yesterday on Tim O’Reilly’s blog. You cc emails to Sandy with appointments, reminders, things you want to keep track of. The application reads the emails and does the most appropriate thing with them. I’m sending notes like “sandy, remind me to call mike in the morning” and the next thing I know, I get an email reminding me. It’s lacking a few features, like mobile integration for the UK, and integration with Google Calendar, but so far I like it a lot.
The second application is SyncMyCal. This application bridges my work calendar (Outlook) to my home calendar (Google) and I’ve been looking for something that does that for so long! It works, and the limited edition is free.
If I don’t get really organised now, it’s my own fault…
