Hi all,
This might be a little bit not completely tablet pc and Outlook office
related... but since the tablet pc and office outlook guys are most
productivity-aware, I want to seek your advice here:
What are the best productivity tools for the following daily routine tasks?
1. Bank & other bill pays. We have many accounts and many bills they all due
at different dates... they all involve log on to the same website and input
username and passwords and then do some payment, etc. These occurs
periodically. I kept forgot my due dates and keep getting fined/charges. Is
there a way to automate these things so that these can be done
automatically? Even our school websites need a lot of logon and logoff, etc.
2. Computer job automation. This relates to item 1, but in a broader sense,
not neccessarily web-based. Might be just a computer job that needs to be
automated. For example, recently I have to send an ad to our local newsgroup
to sell my laptop. I have to keep sending the same ad every 1 or 2 days in
order to attract eyeballs. I use outlook express for this job.
3. News aggregation. I use both nntp from within outlook express for local
newsgroups and web-based MS and google newsgroups. After I post a messge, I
have to get back and see the discussion on my threads. Sometimes there is no
reply at all. Sometimes there are so many other posts so my thread gets
washed away easily, so I have to search it out and bring it back for me.
These are small time spendings but day and day and over the years, they
become very much time wasting... and there is no easy way to save the whole
discussion on one thrread in a beautiful way...
Thanks a lot!
