Were you one of the dozens (and dozens) of people that waited in line to receive the third-generation iPhone? It seems there are always new tech trends released daily. To keep up with the hordes of tech-trends, I’ll fill you in on some of FranklinCovey’s great products. Hopefully these trends tips will help you fulfill the rest of your summer in organized style.

Having a difficult time deciding when to mow the lawn, fix the sprinklers, paint the garage, or clean the barbecue? Maybe a little prioritizing can help you get to all of your summer tasks before the leaves begin to fall.    With our TasksPlus v.5 for Microsoft Outlook product, you’ll be able to effectively organize your tasks. TasksPlus integrates with your existing Microsoft Outlook application to help organize the never-ending list of daily tasks. The drag-and-drop capability of the product makes the ABC-123 task prioritizing much easier. Or, if you need to take your Tasks List on the go, just print off the binder size you need, and take it with you.   

 Now, go ahead and prioritize your summer tasks because you can get it all done.

Get Organized Tip:

To accomplish all of the summer tasks ahead, write down each task you’d like to get done and give yourself a deadline. Each morning refer to the list and gauge how much time you’ll need to accomplish the task. By keeping yourself aware of the task and the time it will take to complete the task, you’ll be able to better prioritize your tasks.   

And, if you were one of the lucky ones to get a new Smartphone, or if you’d like to take better care of the Smartphone you already have, let it sit pretty in our PDA/Smartphone Case. This case comes in both a small and large size to protect the phone, and it even has elastic sides to fit whatever model of Smartphone you carry. And, with a magnetic flap closure, your phone will be safe from possible bumps or accidental drops.  

 Get Organized Tip:

Ever heard your phone buzzing and buzzing and buzzing and cannot find it? Try and always put your phone back in its place, and if you haven’t designated where that place is, decide today. It could be in your binder, in a Smartphone Case, in the phone-pocket of your tote or business case, or in your front-shirt pocket. Put it back in its place every time you’re done using it, and chances are, you’ll never have to scramble to find it.
