(Remember all those slightly cheesy posters that showed rowers rowing in perfect sync or maybe just close-ups of interlocked hands?)

'Um, Evernote, were you reading my diary? Or at least my blog? See, I’ve been struggling with landing on a solid to-do process for years. In fact, you’ll see in September of last year I blogged about my process for managing my to-do list and ended up deciding to use Evernote but wishing they had a way to set due dates. And finally, Evernote’s most recent update introduced “Reminders” , a feature that allows you to attach a due date to a note.

'When Your Car Takes A Wrong Turn. Imagine you are driving your car to a new destination, a place you have never visited before. As you travel, you accidentally take a turn that has you going the wrong way on a highway. For how long would you travel this way? Not long at all of course. The oncoming traffic would terrify you. You would turn around instantly.
