Every once in a while.. I find a gem. A real gem.
No, this isn’t so much mortgage related as much as it’s a piece of advice that will create more efficiency in your life. Well worth read. Oh, and it’s free.
I’m personally all about making life more simple and what I like to think is organized. I was talking today with a gal (Lori) from a company that specializes in helping make life simple. We were talking and a service called Jott.com. In short, Jott allows you to call in reminders (verbally) that are automatically e-mailed/text messaged to you (transcribed).
Let me give you an example:
I have just left an appointment and made a few promises.
- I’ll connect that referral partner with 3 super cool people.
- Add them to my LinkedIn network.
- Send them a thank you note.
- Receive income and asset documents.
- Remember their son’s 7th birthday next Thursday.
Ok, yea – that’s a lot to remember. Right? Well, that’s where Jott comes in. You call their 1-800 number from your cell phone. The automated service automatically recognizes you’re calling and asks you who you want to Jott. In this case I would Jott ‘Myself’. Then I hear a beep and then I leave my reminder. As soon as I’m done, I hang up (just like a voicemail)… and boom – I have an e-mail with the message transcribed. (Details here)
Pretty cool, huh?
I’ve been a Jott user for months now, but it’s always fun to show these little secrets with others. Now it’s your turn.. give it a whirl. I’m sure you’ll find as much value in it as I have.
As a common closing comment, if you know of a cool new technology like this – please, pass it on. Anything that helps create a system or makes my life more simple is welcome!

I can’t tell you how many times I’m driving and I scramble for my pen and note-book and attempt at scribbling a note…
Jott certainly sounds like a great find! A little efficiency would be a good thing. You know our A/E’s might find a benefit to this as well.
