If it only took one email to schedule a meeting date & time - no problem. But it never does. At one point it felt like all I did was passing emails back and forth to try to coordinate schedules and lock in a meeting.
So, I delegated that to my assistant and then...that was all she did. Finally, I got wise and
figured "there must be a tool for this" and voila...there is. After a bit of research, I picked Timebridge, whose tagline is "No More Herding Cats" (feline, jazz musician or hip entrepreneur- any way the metaphor works!)Now, one email goes out with a list of possible options. The attendees check which options work for them and then the tool schedules it...right onto my ical! It even beeps 5 minutes before the meeting so I can get my head out of the computer and start dialing the conference call number it comes with.
The only problem now...if I get sneaky and try to schedule meetings the old way...it messes me up. Either I'm back to fielding more emails than I thought or I forget to hit the 5 minute reminder bell and I get lost in work and forget to look up and call in!
Oh and did I mention that the basic plan is FREE and there's a free 30 day trial for the extra features (like texting a reminder to the attendees before the meeting).
Love, love, love it and I bet you will too!Jenn
