Content, Content Everywhere

As someone who strongly believes in SYSTEMS, I am always looking to perfect my own.  I love my gadgets and software, but sometimes I have to remind myself that simpler is better.  When I look at my highly organized friends, they use simple things like – notepad, their phone, tasks in Outlook.  But oh no, those solutions aren’t robust enough for me. I’m on the quest for global unification!  All my information, all my project billing, everything available from one central location.  I’m I on a fruitless quest for Holy Grail?

Compounding the problem is that it isn’t just me who likes to have systems, all my clients like having systems too.  So to meet their needs, and my own, I’m currently on:

  • One Note
  • SkyDrive
  • SharePoint 
  • QuickBooks
  • Infusionsoft
  • Outlook Tasks
  • Intervals Online 
  • DropBox
  • Taskos (on my phone)
  • Written Lists
  • And don’t EVEN get me started on all my inboxes….
Pfffew!  Thank goodness I have a good memory.  I almost need a list of where all the lists are.  Small business collaboration isn’t easy – especially when it comes to sharing outside the boundaries of your office.  Zen. I want Zen.  Serenity Now!  What’s your strategy?  Any recommendations on how I can simplify my organizational strategy and therefore organize my life?
