Blake Samic .com: Communication Segmentation with the iPhone

  • Patrick Schley · 1 year ago
    I like the idea, Blake. I tend to have a different e-mail box for each of my different "hats" that I wear - a personal box (where facebook/twitter/other messages come to), a Bucketworks box, a First Stage box, a box for my home business, and a DePaul box. Having separate inboxes tends to help me focus in on one particular aspect of my life when I'm trying to work on stuff - I don't look at my Bucketworks box when I'm trying to focus on First Stage stuff, for example.

    I'm also trying to use Toodledo (www.toodledo.com) as a centralized location for all to-do items. It's great because other users can assign me tasks, too.

    Hey Patrick. I've been using SimpleGTD.com for to-do lists for about a year now. I'll check out Toodledo, though. Thanks for the tip!

    Update...I switched to Toodledo because it integrates well with the Todo iPhone app from Appigo. Let's see if it actually helps me GTD :-)

    Blake - Awesome post! This is the kind of personal how to that more bloggers should move towards. Lifehacker just says what to do without giving personal examples and other bloggers just tell without showing. Solid combo and phenom post. I want to do this...but I need an iPhone!

    Great idea! I have this same communication segmentation problem, and this will be the perfect solution using my iphone.

    In regards to your to-do lists, why bother using another app or online to-do solution. If you have your iphone on you at all times, why not use the existing notes feature to put all of your to-do lists, shopping lists, etc? One less thing to take up time...just a suggestion. Few drawbacks include 1.) task due dates/priority 2.) there is no history of tasks completed. But rarely do i look back, wanting to know everything i've ever done on my to-do list.

    Pretty solid stuff Blake, but for me now that I'm retired I can afford be more inefficient :)

    I now have all my email from any of my bank accounts sent to this email address. This includes bill pay reminders, spending threshold alerts, etc.

    Thanks and Regards

    Personal Gmail: I get all my regular email here from friends and family. I tend to filter out any kind of advertising, etc. and send those emails directly to the archives.

    i think iPhone is the phone of the future. Other phones are lagging way behind in terms of 3rd party apps supporting their proprietary phones/

    Thanks for the posts. I will definitely try this on my iphone. Iphone is really taking on the market in touch screen. Its the best touch screen phone in the world and no one is even near to them.

    I use facebook a lot. I’ve got all my alerts from Facebook here like new friend requests, notifications of wall posts, photo tags, etc. Thanks for the helpful tips.
