Those of you who have been reading this blog may remember me mentioning jott.com as a very helpful tool (if you saw me speak, you definitely know I love it). Well, in the same vein, there is (under development) another good tool: the ambient clock (hat tip to Jane C. for the link).
This tool syncs with Google Calendar and Google Maps not only to let you know when your next appointment is, it lets you know when you should leave to get to it by calculating drive-time. Best part is how it changes color so that, at a glance, you can know if you need to pay attention to an upcoming event or if you’re free.
I love to explore tools like this and Jott (which is now indispensable to my creative/ADD husband). Maybe it’ll help you, maybe not. But it’s free and worth trying. If it helps you manage your time better, keep using it, if not, try something else.
