SMS to email my friends, SMS to email. Months back, I posted about trying Jott. It’s nice. It transcribes ridiculously well and it’s pretty convenient to be able to push a speed dial button and say “do this tomorrow because it’s so important” and have that show up in your inbox. But then I got in some situations, like a quiet, packed bus in the morning, where it would have been rather embarrassing to open my phone and say “Myself….at errands, tomatoes, pasta, milk” and hang up. So I just texted my email address. Then, I started texting myself more and more. I liked how I didn’t even need to open the email in gmail, I could see what I typed in the “snippet” and it didn’t say “Jott.com” all over it. And then I realized, why bother using services I don’t need? The goal is not to get things done by adopting a million different services, buckets, tools, and gadgets. The goals is to simply get things done. My cell phone is always on me, so I can always capture things. My cell phone (shown above), isn’t a fancy qwerty keyboard phone either, and I still find it easy to capture with it’s T9 capabilities. And I’m not one of those high school kids that can text faster than they can type and I still find it easy. Oh the cell phone capture.
