The best way to keep track of everything
Why I love Google Drive. I have a horrible memory. Really. I can
remember random things from 5 years ago but what I was thinking 10 minutes ago
is already lost to me. Google Drive has saved me many times.
In case you don't use Drive, let me tell you what it is first. It
is a cloud service for documents, pictures, and whatever else you want to have
access to anywhere. It hooks up with your Gmail account, android phone and the
whole lot of Google products. You can allow other people access to your document
also. This allows for “living” documents for work purposes. In my dorky circle
of friends, we used it to manage building projects in the game Eve. Or you can
use it for budgeting with your spouse. Whatever you need. Drive also has a
pretty good spell check and basic formatting.
Anyway, I use it for everything for my blogging work. I started
with a document for my research. I moved that over to Pocket (http://napalmgraphics.blogspot.com/2012/11/pocket-review.html)
eventually and Pocket works a lot better for that. But, I write all my articles
on Drive. I also use it to hold my random ideas. I think of things while doing
laundry, playing with the cat, or sitting at my day job. Drive is a great way
for me to quickly make a document and add my ideas to it so I won't forget. I
had the best idea for a blog a few weeks ago. I was cleaning and was going to
go write it down when I was done. I forgot immediately and can still not
remember what that idea was. It made me so mad! So never again will I neglect
my ideas and not write them down. Drive also allows me to access my information
anywhere: from a friend’s computer, from my phone, from my work computer
(during my break of course). Really useful for the busy blogger or writer.
