Such a list can come in handy when preparing for a meeting and especially during your annual evaluation! If you’re looking for a tool that requires zero setup, backup, or maintenance, then Memiary is for you! Memiary let’s you record five items (or memories) each day. It even auto-saves each item as you record it. It’s incredibly simple to get started. Just choose a login name and it will then prompt you for a password. Likewise, if you already have an account just enter your login name and it prompts you for your account password. Hit enter and you’re in! I personally use Memiary and highly recommend it. Tools like this are especially useful during the fall and spring semesters which tend to be our busiest times of the year. That’s when Memiary’s strengths really shine. It’s a no-muss, no fuss, no filing solution to help you track the most important things you worked on each day. Additional features include the following:

  • Reminders via email or Twitter
  • “Subscribe” to your entries via RSS or within a calendar app that supports iCal

Best of all Memiary is free!

Bonus Tip!

Speaking of fall and spring semesters, classes start at UR on Monday (oh summer, we hardly knew ye)! Here’s a post from the Professor’s Blog you’ll definitely want to share with your students and student employees. The authors provide 10 quick tips for success during the first week of the semester. Good luck!
