I wanted to share with you two free websites I have been introduced to that can help to make your life as a realtor, home owner, home buyer or just random looker of my blog a little easier.  I have started implementing some tools from them such as converting my voicemail into text and it is a great way to be even more efficient! Here they are:

www.jott.com

It will help you if: you are the type of person, like me, who seems to always remember the important things when you are on the go and can't easily write them down.

How it works: Jott is an easy way to keep your many to-dos up-to-date even when you're on the go.  On the website you can create a list.  Then, if you are out running errands or unable to write info down you can add additions to your list by calling a toll-free number (made for Jott users).  The really cool part is Jott converts your voice into text, which will then show up on your online list you previously created.  You can also phone in reminders, such as "don't forget to pick up the kids today from soccer practice at 5:30".  Then, at the appointed time, Jott will e-mail and/or text you a call to action. 

Another bonus of the service?  They can transcribe your voicemail into text!

www.Evernote.com

It's for you if: You're the type of person who loves to save every paper item you have ever come across!  Yeah, I'm talking to you if you are notorious for saving piles of magazine articles, web-page printouts, notes, etc.

How it works: Evernote neatly and cleverly stores your clips that you can't do without in a virtual scrapbook. Evernote allows you to easily capture information from various environments and organize it and make this information easily accessible and searchable at anytime, from anywhere.  As with Jott, you can also create checklists. Here is a list of possible things you can capture and store on Evernote:

�     Tasks and to-dos

�     Notes and research

�     Web pages

�     Whiteboards

�     Business cards

�     Scribbles

�     Snapshots

�     Wine labels

Another bonus to using this free service?  Evernote has videoclips on their site that have overviews, tutorials, demonstrations, and ideas on how to get the most out of Evernote.
