Productivity Tool of the Week

Put it in your Pocket!
Once upon a time, I would bookmark articles on the web, intending to read them later. But I rarely got back to them, because my so-called system of organizing or indexing them wasn’t at all user friendly… then I discovered Pocket!
Pocket enables you to start building a library of content curated according to your interests. You can save articles to read later in an easy-to-reference system. Once you start, Pocket will curate content that suits you.
If you are doing research… it almost does the research for you – once you set it up with the topics of interest, and your preferences for periodic updates (daily, weekly etc) it will deliver you the articles. It’s a great time-saver!
And it’s FREE! So why not….GET POCKET?
