Need a Friendly Reminder?

How many times have you started something new and before it became a habit, you stopped doing it? Well, here's a great tool to help you stay on track with new habits. And it's free, my favorite.

It's called habitforge. Working on the premise that it takes 21 days to create a new habit, you enter your goal and receive a daily email from habitforge asking if you were successful. All that is required is a "yes" or "no" response.

If you miss a day, you're back to day one. Once you complete 21 successful days you are on a monitoring mode. But by then you have probably successfully incorporated this new habit into your routine. How will you use this tool? Have you made resolutions that you are trying to keep on track with?

Top Social Media Tools

There are a lot of tools out there and many of them are free or low cost. Thanks to Steve Dale for listing the Top 100 Social Media Tools. How many of them have you tried? Maybe there's a solution that fits your need.

You can list your top ten picks at the Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies.

One thing I like about lists is we have a chance to check out any tools that we might not have noticed yet. Are there any of them that are new to you?
