To really cover productivity tools I would need a much longer post. There are great tools out there from Evernote, to todo apps but I’m sure many of you experienced the need to send yourself a note… it could be an important idea, a todo item or a Wifi password.
When I don’t have pen and paper nearby, I usually send myself an email. I get a lot of email, so those tend to get buried. Occasionally, I send a Whatsapp message to my wife (who then replies with a question mark, since the message wasn’t really intended for her). Notes on the iPhone or Google Keep work too, but I didn’t get into the habit of using it.
So it turns out that you can send Whatsapp messages… to yourself.
Try this out:
- Save your name and phone number in your phone’s address book.
- Open WhatsApp and go to the Chats tab.
- Tap the new chat icon > More options > Refresh.
- Send yourself the first note…
It could possibly become a new way of journaling… give it a shot.
