New Year's tools and fun finds to get going ...
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 07:34 AM by votesomemore
I am loving what 2008 looks like. The Universal Year "9" (2007) wound up with me in position to find my long lost self. The past few weeks I've been inner focused. I needed to locate my center again. I've come to terms with factors in my life that I didn't realize I had not accepted. On a practical level, I've been sorting through EVERYTHING. There are big movement changes and small detail changes. For example, I organized my recipes! I wrote down or threw out stuff that's been stuffed in my book and card file for more than 10 years, easily. I've got my sights on the photo container. A few years ago I collected several albums which are still packed with the photos. Now that I'm the only one in the house, I can have a project spread out for a day or two without being a bother. And, I'm feeling hopeful with the simple new spiritual practices I'm following. It feels richer. It's really a great wrap-up ending to a wrap-up year.

Now, I am excited to get into Universal Year "1" and get things going. My map isn't complete. It's getting started. With all this energy, I started bouncing around the web. I saw something on the news about applications to help you meet goals. I found a lot more than that!

I want to share them with you all along with my Happiest New Year Wishes :grouphug:

Love this one! Attention Mac people! This site has an entire subheading just for Macs.

The heading says, " Tech tricks, tips and downloads for getting things done." But it is much more than geek fodder.

A couple of things I got from lifehacker >
Very simple graph based on your self evaluated "morale, health, sleep, alcohol, caffeine" levels. Charts trends >

http://morale.erikbenson.com/

You'll need to register with this site to have a logon for the "morale-o-meter". It's a personal blog site with tag links. There's no obligation. >

May favorite from lifehacker so far is >

http://whatsitscolor.com/

"an image-color processing utility that will evaluate an image and give you the image's primary and complementary dominant colors of an image, how many visually unique colors are in an image, and the top ten visually unique colors in an image. Extremely useful when creating any type of designs around an image. The more colorful the image, the better the results. "

I suggest selecting the disregard background option to get a more balanced pallet.


http://www.thinktq.com/

Articles, tests, downloadable calendars, etc. A lot is free with registration with additional products for sale.

A commercial product I recommend whenever I get the chance. It is not free, but there is a trial version. It is a form of mind mapping. Great for project management.

http://www.mindjet.com/us/


I've had this one for awhile and it isn't related to achievement but rather boredom relief. It's a browser add-on that opens random sites based on a checked list of interests. It's good treatment for internet boredom.
