Tempted to buy a new gadget, but used my old laptop instead!
I've been tempted lately by some of those electronic calendars, which can have chore lists and all sorts of other features, because I'm getting too many paper lists. But the price is so high and it's basically just a tablet that I'd need to sync to all the apps I already use.
Today I remembered that I still have my laptop from grad school (I graduated 8 years ago), which folds around and can be used as a tablet. So I dug it out, did a deep purge of apps and documents to free up space, and really dug into my Google account to set up my calendar and lists. It's going to do exactly what I needed from those electronic calendars, but without spending $500! #finance source
