Many of you know how I raved about JOTT.com, a service that allowed you to call in from your cell phone and leave yourself a message. When you returned to your office you had an email with a fairly accurate text of the note you just left yourself.
This was one of the greatest boost to my field effectiveness in years. No more little scraps of paper, no more forgetting something – it was near perfect.
Then Bam! They discontinued the service as of May 3rd. I felt like I lost half of my brain.
Over the weekend I tried a new service. ReQall.com. I like it. In fact I like it a lot. It’s like having the other half of my brain back!
