Free Online Sites and Apps for Organizing Home Life and Business

I don't know about you, but my goal in life has always been to get better organized in my home and life. I'm also getting older so I don't always remember things I need to do. What's a gal to do! I'm always on the look out for tools to help keep me organized and below I've found some interesting online tools that make organizing your home, life and business a lot easier.


Trello is an online tool that helps you organize, plan, and gather everything you need for a project in one handy place. From recording your next dentist's appointment to DIY projects and more, Trello makes it easy. It originally was set up as a business tool where groups of people could gather to work collectively on a project. It soon became a handy online 'To Do' list for individuals and families.

Trello is a visual tool that organizes all your projects onto boards, and quickly tells you in one glance what projects you are working on, what's in progress, what needs yet to be done, and what's finished. Keep track of your kid's activities, grocery lists, anniversary's and birthday's coming up...the uses are endless.

Asana is another place where you can organize your life, business, and group activities all in one place. Asana is place to increase productivity in business and individual lives. As a business tool it helps increase the team effort leading to success. While its not as visual as Trello it allows you to organize everything in an orderly fashion.

 Boomerang is an online email organizing, reminder tool that allows you to set up everything you need to do.  Send messages, have messages sent to your self to give you reminders of important events, projects and activities It comes with a calendar to keep track of everything in one handy place. It's a Gmail  plugin for your browser that adds time-awareness to your email. It can be set up for business groups and individuals. I use this tool to send myself reminders, which helps as I can be forgetful. Our Volunteer group uses it to keep everyone in the know and allows us to schedule meetings and update everyone on what's going on and what projects we are starting.

EVERNOTE is a software program that allows you to keep a record of just about everything. I've yet to try this one, but my friend Julie has been using it for years and swears by it. It's used for note taking and archiving. It can be used almost like a sticky note. It keeps all your 'notes' in one handy place. A note can be a photograph, a full webpage or excerpt, formatted text, a voice memo or a handwritten ink note. You can sort your notes into folders, tag them, edit, export and more.

simplenote is another tool that allows users to stay organized. Keep lists, ideas, plans, notes, and reminders all in one place. The program is easy to use and understand. If you are looking for a no fuss, easy app this is the one to use.
