Productivity Tools

Productivity tools can be very useful not only in relation to businesses but also when it comes to university and student life. A productivity tool is a type of software which can help an individual increase his/her productivity,whether that be in time management, or even in a project. There are many different productivity tools which are easily accessed on the Internet, examples of such tools would include online calendars such as Google calender, startpages like netvibes which we have previously come across in this class and online RSS Readers such as Bloglines. The productivity tool which I would mainly use on a day to day bases is an online calender. This tool is really useful as you can enter in events (which you can then send invites to your friend about via email) and reminders for exams or essay/assignment deadlines. You can choose to be notified by email or get a text message sent directly to your mobile phone. It is also very straight forward to use and easily accessed by use of a computer or even your phone. From my own experiences so far there is no risks in relation to this tool. Each account is guarded by your own personal password so it is not possible for anyone else to view your information.
