The power in my pants can help me stay focused when my natural tendency is to chase shiny things. To be honest I would not arrive on time ever if it weren't for my mobile device and google.
What still needed work was my remembering what I had gone out for. There are too many times that I arrive at the grocery store while the list I laboured over is lounging on the counter at home in the kitchen. If there is no one at home to read me my list I have to guess (which rarely works out well). Adding to the problem is that after the list has been read to me I have to continue to remember as I dash about the store.
If I was only looking to record a grocery list or two the Evernote App would definitely be more then I need. I have decided Evernote is worth the extra storage it will take on my mobile since I want to organize my research notes in a way that allows me to check them at any time from any of my devices. This will make this the App useful for my family tree researching.
While searching my husband's side of the family tree I discovered he was related to Laura Secord by marriage. When I told him he was excited to hear of his connection to chocolate. Being related to a heroine of the War of 1812 is wasted on him. He just wanted to talk about creamy milk chocolate. If I had been able to just share my notes with him I may not have known just how annoying he was. I also discovered he shares a name with a relative whose home is a historical site in Ontario also related to the War of 1812. This App may save our marriage as he will know the significance from my notes before he talks with me. How many Apps out there can claim that - the ability to save marriages?
Now back to me. I am still searching for my famous rich relatives. At this early point in my searching I had only found Smellies and Belchums, but I plan to organize and sort them in such a way as to present them as royalty!
