Take 5: Sayonara to Sticky Notes
Before I found MyTextFile my desk was constantly littered with scribblings on sticky notes and any other random scrap of paper that was within reach when the need to record something hit me - and it drove me crazy!
All my work is done on the computer and I wanted my notes to be on my computer too. I tried Google’s desktop application that has a built in notepad but it was overkill. Too many unwanted features just to get an electronic notepad. A word processor is an obvious choice but I found it tedious to open Word and then have to toggle back and forth between it and my browser.
Finally I found MyTextFile, an ajax-powered text editor for a single plain text file. You can log in with your google account and add, save, or delete text as you see fit. I placed a link to the site on my toolbar so I always have a piece of paper and a pen handy.
