My life is a series of Post It notes. They are stuck to my computer screen, they clutter my desk, and they litter my backyard when a light wind kicks up in the vicinity of my patio table. They can be found in the floor of my car, at the bottom of my purse and, more than occasionally, on the foreheads of my children.<\/p>\n
My organizational skills are not so hideous that they would be the subject of the next Lifetime family movie, but my life (we will call it my “back office”) is certainly, at this point in time, in a state of disarray.<\/p>\n

Now, I have to remember to Jott.<\/p>\n And I have to remember to blog and comment and trackback and linkback, to be a Trulia Voice<\/a> and a Zillow<\/a> neighborhood specialist, to log onto Meebo<\/a> when I am “in” and off when I am “away”, and to download and study my Altos<\/a> charts. The list goes on. With each of these exciting opportunities comes an email reminder, and each of these “to dos” involves a brave new world of email inbox populating never before seen. So much so, that I find myself “saving” these messages for another time, a time that often never comes.
