Guest Post by Maggie B. People try all sorts of techniques for getting organized; from sticky notes to Franklin Planners.
The problem has always remained having the information available when and where you need it.
A sticky note on the fridge or your desk doesn’t help when you’re in the car – and no one carries a Franklin Planner to a ballgame…
Now, in the digital age getting organized is solved with mobile apps. However even with apps there remains the problem of sharing that information with others.
With the help of Cozi you can easily get and stay organized no matter where you happen to be. Cozi is the 2012 Appy Award Winner for Best Family-and-Parenting app. It allows you to effortlessly manage a shared calendar, shopping and to-do lists all while you’re on the go.
Family members or colleagues can easily access Cozi from any computer or mobile (iOS, Android or Blackberry) device. No matter where or how they access Cozi, since it’s cloud-based, they’ll always be looking at the same information.
However, don’t take my word for it, see our exclusive video walk through to see Cozi in action:
The applications for the Cozi app are as varied as the individuals that use it. That can be an individual, husband and wife, secretary and boss, members of a team or organization or an entire family; share one Cozi or have multiples. You can opt to use it to organize yourself, family or get your staff all on the same page.
Enter all your family’s activities on the shared calendar so everyone knows at a glance whether or not a date is free. Add items getting low in your pantry to your Shopping list(s) so you have them with you when you decide to stop at the store. Better yet, you can ask another person on your Cozi list to stop for you! Just tell them to please check their Cozi app for the items you need. They have them at the touch of a finger and can simply cross off the items as they are purchased.
You can also use Cozi in business situations. Imagine yourself on your next trip with multiple people all going in their own directions during the day. What easier way to coordinate when and where to meet later? Simply add it to your Cozi app! Need the group to accomplish certain objectives as the trip progresses? Add it to the shared To Do list and they can be crossed off as they are finished. Make a list for each member of your party and get things really organized. How much or how little you integrate Cozi is entirely up to you.
Additionally the Journal included in the Cozi app makes it simple and fun to record a moment spent with our family and friends or capture information to share with your colleagues back at the hotel over dinner.
