There are plenty of tools available nowadays to plan your day, set reminders, and assign tasks. You have applications on your mobile phone, you have Basecamp, you have Outlook, you have iCal, and so on.

But what do you do when you’re driving down the highway, remember an extremely important task that needs to be done tomorrow, and ensure you don’t forget it? Jott it. (Disclaimer: YGG does not recommend you talk or use your cellphone while driving on the highway. :)

That’s Jott it, without the down. A verb that seems to be almost as catchy as “Google it�.

This online service was first announced back in December or so on TechCrunch. The idea is that you have a local or toll-free number you call from the phone associated with your Jott account, say who you’d like to send a Jott to (contacts), say your message, and it’s then transcribed and e-mailed to the contact you chose.

Jott is entirely free, but is still in “Public Beta” mode. They are expected to roll out of beta in the near future and offer a Business plan on top of the freebie, most likely with a few new features, no Jott advertising in the e-mail notifications, and an unlimited amount of messages.

Where and when could this be handy? On plenty of occasions, many of which I’ll try and cover today.

Let me first start by saying the title is not squeezing “exercise” into your busy schedule. Exercise is over stated, overall fitness is not. Being fit and healthy is more about your diet than it is about your workout routine. Getting in shape and losing a little weight (if that’s what you’re trying to do) is actually very, very easy.

You’re already going to eat, so if you can teach yourself to eat right that’s half the battle. Here are some basic eating tips that if stuck to will clean out your body in no time

I shared my disappointment with Scoble’s prediction as to the future direction of blogs, a week ago. He didn’t take too nicely to my critique of his opinion, but I said at that time that I would send out a dozen or so e-mails asking the opinion of some other bloggers I thought would better fit the role of a creative psychic.

As expected and completely understood, only a few responded. Thankfully, one response from our friend, Collis Ta’eed at FreelanceSwitch, was quite thoughtful and I’ll share a few excerpts of it, along with Neil Patel’s from Pronet Advertising, an amusing response from Seth, and my own.
