Hi. I'm Lorie Marrero & today's Clutter Video Tip is Part 1 in a 5-part series we're doing on time management. People are making a big mistake out there & that is thinking they have to conform to someone else's time management system & do it perfectly. People think they have to buy this company's day planner & they have to fill out those forms exactly as they are, or they have to buy this expert's book & they have to follow that person's advice & do it exactly the way they do it. And to me that's a recipe for disaster because 1 size does not fit all & I believe time management is as unique & individual as a fingerprint & it can change over time.

And today we're going to go over capturing. So you have a lot of information coming at you all the time & that information needs to be captured so that you can look at that later & decide whether that's something you actually want to do. If you're sitting at your desk that's really easy. You probably have a computer right there. You can type appointments directly into your calendar, you have a "to do" list right there. But if you're not at your desk, you probably have a paper & pen. There's lots of ways to do it. Paper & pen is a great way that most people use on a regular basis. But you may be out & about & you may not have a computer with you or even a piece of paper. But you probably have with you your phone.

Now, even if you don't have a Smart phone, you can still use some very smart things about your phone & that is a service called Reqall for one. Reqall is a free service that you can sign up for & you call the special Reqall number & you can say a message into the service & in a few minutes you will receive a transcribed text of exactly what you said via e-mail. You also have a camera on your phone & you can use that camera to capture information too. You can take a picture of somebody's business card or take a picture of the hours of a business that you want to frequent.

In one example also you can use an app with your camera, Evernote. And that is a way to capture lots of information into your Evernote database your camera works with it, but also you can type directly into Evernote. And, you have maybe a calendar or a "to do" list on a Smart phone. I use Remember the Milk, which is a "to do" list function that I sync with Outlook via my phone.

I'd like to give you an assignment today & have you think about what your favorite capturing tools are. And think about narrowing those down to just a few that are your favorites that you know that you will consistently check & work on. You can look at our Member Message Board area where we have our organizing expert team that has helped thousands of people in over 18 countries since 2006 for about the price of a pizza. You can see more about that at http://www.clutterdiet.com/learnmore.

See you next time, & may you always be happy & grateful for having more than enough.
