Great products to check out . . .

I don't advertise on my site (yet . . . might in the future . . . we'll see).

That being said (I'm not promoting these to earn $$), I wanted to make folks aware of some great products:

1. Digital Post-it Notes from 3-M -- This is a great (digital) way to clear up all those sticky notes on your desk. Here's what I love:

A. Sort Notes: You can color-code and design your messages and post them on a virtual memo board. You can have multiple tabbed memoboards. You can sort notes by task, key dates, appointments, etc. You can create all kinds of categories to keep you organized.

B. Set Alarms: You can set one or multiple alarms to alert you about important dates.

C. Personalize: You can personalize your notes by adding photos, etc.

D. Search: There is a search feature to help you track down what you're looking for.

E. Desktop Sticky: You can put these virtual sticky notes on your computer desktop area (just like you would put them on your regular desk).

F. 30 Day Free Trial: Go to: http://www.3m.com/us/office/postit/digital/digital_notes.html to get your free 30 day trial.



2. Charging Valets: How to charge all your electronic gadgets in one convenient place.
These stations have a power strip inside that allows you to plug into the socket once, then plug in all your items into the hidden socket inside the valet. Decorative and efficient and average cost is about $20.


3. Poly File Folders & Envelopes: Made of polypropylene (e.g. heavy plastic), these handy file folders and envelopes are waterproof, tear resistant and come in a variety of colors that allow you to color code your documents. Other advantages:

A. Use them over and over again;
B. Great for travel;
C. Superior protection for documents.

Due to their high cost, however, probably not a good idea to place all your files in these folders (unless you just won the lottery).

They are great, but use them wisely.
