Tracking Your Thoughts

I recently stumbled upon a cool program for tracking my thoughts, memories, and musings.  It's kind of like having a private online diary.

Oh Life, is a free web-based program that you can use to help you record what's happening in your life.   What's nice is that the program is totally private.  It's not a social networking tool (like Facebook) that makes announcements to your friends, families, and the rest of the universe.  Instead, it's a place just for you.

Like a traditional journal, OhLife records whatever you want.  It's great for recording anything ... your dreams, memories, and inspirations.  In addition, you can even include a photograph to complement your entries.

This is also a great tool to record important things that you'd like to keep track of on a regular basis.  For instance, it's a terrific way for homeschooling parents to note what they do each day.  Just think, at the end of the school year how incredible it would be to have a day-by day accounting of your educational accomplishments.  

While there are many websites that allow you to create an online journal, what's different about OhLife is that you can set up email reminders to prompt your entries.  For instance, you can customize the program to send you an email at a specific time (ex. 8:30 pm) every day, or once a week, to inquire "How was your day?".  If you feel like writing something about that day, you type your response directly into the email and hit "reply".  With that, OhLife will automatically update your journal by adding in your text.  It doesn't get easier than this.

Of course, you are also free to access the program on the web at any time to add a new entry, revise an old entry, or even delete an entry entirely. There is a lot of flexibility with OhLife.

Finally, you even have the option of copying ALL of your entries out of OhLife and pasting them into another program, using the application's Export function.

So if you are looking for a way an interesting way to track your thoughts you might want to give OhLife a try.
