Keeping Organized in A Stressful World

There are all types of online services to help you keep organized in both your personal and professional life. If you are a small business, consider checking out your options. Most of these services are free and have a vast array of applications to help you on your track to get organized.

Here are some of the best online organizers that I know of. If you know of others, please let us know...here we go!

zoho.com has a ton of applications including an easy-to-use calendar, an online word processor, server space, and an invoice-making applications so you can bill clients from anywhere - amazing!

cozi.com helps you keep your family organized. Have one child going to soccer, one going to basketball and you need to make sure you don't miss out on an activity? With Microsoft Office sync capabilities and customizable lists, cozi.com gathers up appointments and color codes them by family member so you can know where everyone is at a quick glance.

Are you a Mac loyalist like me? Use Things for Mac and iPhone to consolidate and prioritize lists and tasks and e-mail yourself reminders. It is your own personal assistant without the paycheck - who wouldn't love that!

Lastly, and one I use several of their apps is iGoogle.com. Besides having the best online email system - gmail (if you don't have an account - get one!), they have a ton of apps categorized by online searches, explore and innovate, and communicate/show/share, go mobile, and make your computer work better. In all, you have nearly 50 applications to use...a lot of them you are likely familiar with and don't even realize it. Set up an iGoogle account and you can create a dashboard to organize your applications.

I hope you have fun exploring all of your options and again, please let us know if you have other online services you swear by.
