I Love Google Docs
I was first introduced to Google Docs a year ago when I got hired on at Apartment Therapy, Los Angeles. We use Google Docs to share information (which saves having to email templates back and forth). The great thing about Google Docs is they're easy as heck to create and you can share them with as many folks as you'd like. Great for small business owners that have a few employees or use the service for yourself at home to keep you organized. When working with clients, I always like to get their passwords and online information in one place. Google Docs is a fabulous way to do this. You can also add links to each online bill paying site in Google Docs (which saves the step of bookmarking each site and then looking for passwords in another spot). Do you use Google Docs to organize your life? Let us know!!

I don't but you have me intrigued. Is this pretty self-explanatory? I desperately need to organize passwords, etc. Do you have some examples for home use?

On the site, they have tons of templates (from a packing list to home inventory spreadsheet).

Is this what you're looking for?
I love Google docs too! We used it this year to keep our festival registration list organized. When you create one of the 'forms' - (e.g. 'Contact me' for your website), Google automatically organizes the responses into an excel spreadsheet. Definitely play around with it when you have time - lots to discover!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth...I checked out the templates, so many! Yes, I can see that I need several calendars for different activities, then password list, then on-line billing sites...
ReplyDelete@ Mixed Roots--v. cool to know! Lots of exploring left to do:)
ReplyDelete@MrsLittleJeans--yes--definitely use Google Docs to get organized (but don't make so many templates that it's overwhelming). Simple is best...
that's a great idea - i am totally gonna start storing my user names and passwords in there. it's getting out of control trying to remember them all!
ReplyDelete@Take Sunset--totally!! There are so many things we have to remember these days (better to have it all in one place:)
