#7. Prestare attenzione ai dettagli

I dettagli sono importanti, fanno parte della nostra vita, del nostro modo di essere.In maniera macroscopica possiamo sapere anche la nostra direzione, però a volte non sappiamo come arrivarci.

#7. Prestare attenzione ai dettagli

#7. Prestare attenzione ai dettagli

Sapere dove ci stiamo dirigendo in senso generale, non ci dice come arrivarci.

Se la nostra ambizione , ad esempio, è quella di  diventare un blogger famoso o quanto meno visibile, perchè siamo consapevoli di avere un patrimonio di interessi e competenze da condividere, allora dobbiamo essere in grado di formulare un piano dettagliato per far si che tutto ciò si avveri.

Mettere in pratica i piani…

This app “Remember the Milk” is a life-saver for all the things you have to do as a student, a worker, or a functional member of society. This app ensures that you never forget to complete a task and it allows you to prioritize tasks on your schedule accordingly. The only negative to this app is that it requires an internet connection, but otherwise this app is highly recommended!

支払い方法がカードやPaypalしかない。これはダメだと思って諦めていた。 仕事から帰ってiPodTouchで遊んでいる時にふと気になってRTMを立ち上げ、設定を確認したところ｢proアカウントを延長する｣という項目が。タッチすると１ヶ月３５０円と１年間２,９００円の選択肢が。もしかしてiTunes Storeで買える？ちょうど今２,９１５円残額がある。１年の方をタッチすると、iTunes Storeのパスワードを要求してくる。やったね。 無事購入して更新することができた。 あとでiTunes Store（ウェブの方）を見たら、無料のRTMアプリのところに有料アドオンがちゃんと表示されていた。こっちからでも購入できたのね。

LAB 11: Web Productivity Tools

Activity 5- Productivity Tools Questions

For your blog entry, choose one of the tools that interested you. Define it, explain what it does and then discuss how it might be useful in a library related job.

I chose Remember the Milk [Rememberthemilk.com] as the productivity tool that interested me the most.

Remember the Milk is an organizational web app that allows you to choose the way you would like to stay organized: lists, tagging, task cloud, or notes. A user can map their tasks (giving locations as to where their task will be taking place), share, send, and publish their tasks with co-workers, family, or housemates in order to get things done, as well as prioritize and postpone tasks where necessary. The evolution of the web app has lead to many versions of mobile apps being released, so you can use the tool virtually anywhere, eliminating a pocketful of lists, or an ink-covered hand.

I think this tool would be useful in a library for many reasons: time management of staff (including simple task management, breaks, meetings,  and staff schedules), programming schedules (this would allow staff to keep track of which programs are taking place where in their libraries), event schedules (reminding staff of big patron events coming up), book club schedules (including content, and reminders to have materials gathered and ready for the club's use), supply orders, book release dates, community events calendars, and all of these uses could be set up to have reminders issued so no one forgets what is coming up.

The use of a tool like this in a library could be invaluable, but one also needs to remember the time it would take to set something like this up. It sounds easy enough in theory: simply set up your events as they come. However, when we think about the many events and social calendars that are overlapping in a library (as well as in any business, or our personal lives), we can quickly see how it could be a little overwhelming. Perhaps that is just my way of thinking, though. I tend to look at apps like this with a little wariness and hesitation. For an example, when we were given our class outlines letting us know approximately what would be happening in which class daily, I took the time to enter the information in my computers calendar (with reminders) in order to help stay organized through the term. Three hours later, I had a term set up in my calendar, but only half of my classes were entered because only half of my classes provided a detailed outline. When I had finished, I thought I would feel less stressed and more pulled together, knowing what would be happening in classes daily. Instead, I simply felt stressed and frazzled from the setup. The thought that I will have to go through this process again at the beginning of next term is daunting, and it is really not something I am looking forward to. However, that being said, my calendar reminders on my computer (which are also linked to my mobile phone) have been probably one of the most valuable tools I've utilized this term. It's a habit I will continue to keep in order to keep my head above water and not feel so overwhelmed.

Saying all of that, if the Remember the Milk interface is as easy to use as iCalendars, it would definitely be worth the time in the library for staff to use. The setup time would be a very worth while investment, and the maintenance would simply be another task added in daily. Getting a reminder to remind you to update your reminders would be a bit amusing, don't you think?
