Rock it with Pocket

I wanted to introduce you to Pocket (getpocket.com), one of my favorite productivity tools.

How many times have you been looking at a web page or a social media post and said "this is really good, but I don't have time to read it all right now" - that's what Pocket is for. Pocket allows you to save links and read them later - literally putting it in a pocket. The site and app are free. I use it the most on my smart phone. Once installed, Pocket gives you access to all your existing saved sites to go back and read, but more importantly it gives you a new destination on your phone to save the site/post you are on. For example, from Google Chrome on your smart phone while looking at the site, click the "share" or "send-to" and choose Pocket. Now it's saved and you can go back later and read it. You can also create your own tags to organize the saved pockets.

Sign up for free at the site, add the plug-in to Google Chrome and most importantly, install the app on your smart phone. 

Enjoy your new-found productivity!
