The information that Allen provides is useful in many aspects of life. From work to your normal home life, the different steps from having a set in stone workflow aspect to the different level of focus can impact our lives in many ways.
I've always walked around with set of instructions in my mind that I need to do. Most people do also have these set instructions. I'm sure most of us have a morning routine. Wake up, take a shower, brush our teeth, eat breakfast and then it diversifies from there. This is in our mind of things needed to be done for us to feel good when going to work or for doing hobbies.
We can use these aspects in our organizational skills at work.
I've gone online and looked over google's calendar system. From reading Allen's tickler file system I've gone ahead and implemented that aspect into my life. I've had trouble keeping a notebook planner because it get's pushed to the side when I do any work or when I'd get home.
With it being online I can access it easier and be more redundant with my information. I can always have the notebook planner with the same information in it in case the internet goes down. It's what I've been needing to keep me from forgetting the different tasks needed to be done throughout the month.
I can use all these steps for my college classes also and will definitely be using the calendar to keep myself organized at all times.
I'm really grateful into reading the system as it has put alot of my flaws in the open (organization) and made it simply easy to fix.

Week 10 #23 Farewell
I think therefor I am.
I guess he thought of hunger and they say you are what you eat.
Errr..or something like that.
Well it's over and none to sooner, phew!
Joking, joking but I do have to say it was fun. It was really enlightening and even gave me a computer geek a surprise that there is alot more out there than what I know.
I have come away using pretty much everything on this training. From the LOLCAT maker to the Slideshow to th Overdrive feature.
Rock on!

Downloadable media.
We've all downloaded media before. From downloading music, files, videos to downloading webpages.
Some sites you visit are free some other sites ask you to pay for content. Most music sites ask you to buy music for a flat fee. 99 cents or $1.29 depending on the bit rate.
But what if all the music was free. What if books where like that also. Instead of buying books you could download them and read them on your e-book or listen to them on a cd/thumb drive/computer.
You can grab a MP3 player like an Ipod or creative Zen/Zune and take it with you on the go. It works great with long travel and working out.
Looking at the different sites that allow free downloadable books compared to us. As their website functions different from us but have the same concept. Some of the differences of course are the way the layout and search function. But other difference have to do with the checkout time and the media.
I do like our Overdrive system but that's because I'm more familiar with it. I will be trying out the other two sites more and see which one I prefer.

What you already know about Youtube? I'm sure you don't! Haha!
Wait.. so you know that people upload their videos to this sight and share them with other people?
Wellll.... for those who don't know (probably 1% of the world) Youtube is a website that people upload their videos and share them with others.
What!? Don't look at me like that. What!? I said that already?
Well..then.. you pretty much know 90% of Youtube. If you have a great, funny, moving, drama, or just plain want to see yourself on youtube, you can!
There are plenty of videos online if you don't want to upload your own. Here is a funny example of a video from people playing World of Warcraft:
After this video was posted it pretty much made Lerooooy Jenkins a star, his 15 minutes of fame. Over 3million have downloaded this video. You can also link videos to other peoples website, myspace or blogs and share it with them.
You can find videos from 70's, 80's all the way up until now. So if you want see that Depeche Mode music video.. well you just search for it. Then you can figure out that...the 80's weren't that cool and the clothes.
So register and pick your favorite Youtube videos and have them in your profile. Hop on and enjoy.
