On an average morning, I wake up and check my email. Then I worry about going about the rest of my day. There are many times when I need to coordinate my schedule in order to accommodate other people and meetings. I can never get anywhere with schedules, because I end up with an email thread that is 14 pages long! Have you ever noticed how some people are insanely focused on setting up a phone call to talk about something you could have already covered in an email? When it comes to coordinating schedules and getting people on the same page, you may want to Doodle!

I had some of the people from our live chat room draw and write on my virtual whiteboard. They managed to quickly fill up 24 pages! I created this for free, using a cool service I came across that you can use for school or work!

There’s never enough time. Inevitably, we have to communicate with people in different time zones. How do you figure out all of the logistics? It can be a nightmare if you aren’t using a service like Permatime.

It’s been a while since we last played with GoToMeeting. They’ve updated their software, and now we can see both Mac OS X and Windows desktops. I’d like to start doing live screencasts with those of you who love doing them anyway – we’ll use GoToMeeting once a week and make it happen live with the stream – email me if you have an idea of what you’d like to demonstrate if you are selected to share your screen with our GoToMeeting session!

One of the reason I happen to stream my life online is because it’s easier to keep a schedule that way. If anyone asks “when are you streaming?”, I can just answer “right now.”. There may come a time when I have to schedule an event, and coordinate it with a variety of people. Those people could be spread out all over the World, using any number of different platforms. What options do I have then? Thank goodness I found Tungle.

Let’s say you have more than one friend, which I’m sure you do. You may want to notify your friends about something, track whether they’ve seen what you had to say, and receive your responses… all in a hurry. What do you do? You could collect all the information by hand, but why would you do that? Why not just head over and try out Notifu instead?

I work from home, as you probably know. That doesn’t mean I don’t have to coordinate meetings with people. When we need to meet, we have to coordinate our schedules. The more people there are, the more difficult it is to nail down a particular time. Thankfully, I stumbled across a site that can really help. When Is Good is a free and easy way to get those meetings scheduled. There’s nothing to sign up for, and no password to remember.
