#8 - Google Documents

google-docs.pngI used to keep a documents folder on my computer which i would store reminders, snip its of text, wish lists etc. It used to be a real hassle accessing this information as i had to be at home on my machine to access anything. I transfered all my stuff into Google Docs and it has been a real treat to be able to access this information anywhere, even on my phone! The application is built just like any other suite like Microsoft Office or iWorks. It offers you the ability to store documents, presentations and spreadsheets online.

One of the best features is the ability to collaborate with people by editing a document at the same time. You will see there changes as they are made and you never have to worry about overwriting someone else’s work as it saves all pasted revisions as well.

One of the most used documents I have saved is one called “My Wish List”. Anytime I see something online or hear about something I want, I add it to my wish list with a link to the product. I share this document with my fiance and when it comes time to gift buying, she has access to all the things I want. It makes life a lot easier around the holidays when you get asked that dreaded question “what do you want?”. I never struggle with that anymore as I always have an up-to-date list to give people ideas.
