Have you ever been out and about and wished you had a note pad to write down a thought while it was at the epicenter of your consciousness? Maybe it was something like, "Get Pam a birthday card." But memo pads aren't accessible while you're at the coffee shop or out for a beverage with friends or shopping at the mall with your daughter.
But now I use Jott instead. I heard about Jott from Seth Godin. Jott is free, and here's how it works:
Let's say you're picking up your dry cleaning one morning, and suddently you think of something that you absolutely must do that day. You call Jott from your mobile phone. The automated attendant asks, "Who do you want to Jott?" You say "Myself."
Then you leave yourself a message by speaking into your phone: "Remember to call Dan Wilson about the XYZ fund." Moments later, your message appears on your computer as an incoming email. When you get to the office, you check your email, and you're reminded to call Dan.
You can also set up other recipients (spouse, friend, etc.) and have Jott turn your spoken word into email messages that are automatically sent to them.
I've been using Jott for several weeks. I use it all the time. I think many salespeople (especially in outside sales) could put Jott to good use. Check it out at www.jott.com.
