Auntie Kate The Resale Expert

I’ve tried them all. Every app, program, trick there is to keep myself and the multiple aspects of my life as a consignment and resale consultant, not to mention sister, aunt, volunteer worker, history lover organized. Still, I miss meetings I wanted to attend, to-do things I wanted to-do, even FUN stuff, awash in the overload that the Interweb throws at me.

But here’s one I haven’t tried:

Creating Google email addresses to sort ’em all out.

Just think. I could use myname@gmail.com. Or better yet, I could use myname.newsletters@gmail.com when I sign up for (you guessed it) e-newsletters, and myname.events@gmail.com for time-sensitive things, and myname.youwillbeeternallydamnedifyoudontdothis@gmail.com for those, um, family obligations. I could even send, via email, web sites, pages, PDFs to the “proper” segment of my life….

And when something comes into my primary email that needs attention or remembering, I could forward it to the “proper” email to keep it all sorted.

Now, if I could only remember to check all those email aliases, I’d be all set. [smiley face here].
