Ever been out and about somewhere and you remember something you need to remind someone of? Or maybe you just wanted to give yourself a reminder. Example:
You are at a daughters softball game and remember, "I forgot to email my client Jason a my listing at Long Bay Resort!" You check your pocket trying to find a piece of paper to jott a note to yourself on. Then you have to ask four of the other families around you for a pen to write the note. Meanwhile, you and the other families you have disturbed from the game have just missed your precious little girl hitting a home run.
Jott it a free service that works directly with your cell phone eliminates all of this. All you have to do is make a free account, enter the numbers and email addresses of those you may want to Jott. Then, when you are at the house and want your spouse to pick up a gallon of milk at the store but don't want to disturb their meeting, you simply call jott, say your spouses name and then say what you want the message to be. The system automatically translates your statement into an email form and sends the message to them with the voice attachment. You can also set reminder alerts that are sent to your cell phone. The best part about Jott is that it is completely free to use and takes only minutes to activate and start using. Below is a great demonstration of how to Jott.
One little tip: Once you have the account set up, set the number for Jott to your 1 touch dialing on your phone for quicker & easier access.

Jeremy, I've heard about it. Then I forgot about it and didn't write it down, lol. I should have had Jott then. I've bookmarked to get started.
I guess I already do this, but in a different way =) I use my Smart Phone/PDA. I put everything in the Tasks or Notes sections. Even my grocery list is in there. Then I never have to run home and get my list if I'm already out and about, and decide to stop by the store.
Hi Jeremy...
I love Jott...We discovered it some time ago and it sure beats driving and writing things down at the same time. Not that I've ever done that :)
TLW...ROAR!
Ray- I would definitely try it out...makes life so much easier!
Lisa, what is nice about this, is that you don't have to write a thing down, just talk and it will convert it to an email!
TLW- I titled this post specifically for you! I never talk on my phone while driving! LOL
Mirela- I am glad you have a better understanding now!!!
