Website of the Day: Jott

I use the notepad function on my iPhone waaay too much, like so much that I have pages and pages of random notes (dresses I see out that I want to find cheaper online, reminder to buy my Dad something on Amazon when I get home) and it ends up being not all that efficient. Especially because I generally forget to check the pages and pages of notes until I'm making another note for something else.

So I'm outsourcing the notes and thoughts in my head to Jott.

Sign up for a free account with Jott and let them do the organizing and yes, jotting down for you. You can call them and leave a voicemail, text, or email, with your lists and emails or anything else you want to remember later. When you sign on (yes, you do have to remember to sign in), all your notes, whatever way you got them to Jott, will be organized for you. My appointments thank you!
