Going Techy

Jaremy and Benjamin have been trying to get me to digitize my notebook, planner, shopping lists, etc. for a long time. I decided to embrace new things that might improve my productivity and effectiveness. I went to a family history class with Benjamin on Saturday to learn about using the cloud. Today I'm going to buy a tablet to replace my notebook. All week long I have been entering in my calendar, goals, tasks, etc. onto the cloud. Exciting! I wonder if it will actually improve my management or if it's just a cooler way of doing things. I couldn't care less about the cool factor, but I sure hope it helps me and my family accomplish the things Heavenly Father sent us here to do. I'll keep you posted.

But I have my suspicions it will help tremendously. In Conference they talked about how technology can bless us if we are careful and focused. Family history must use it! It's amazing what advances have been made. I think it can help me build up my little part of the kingdom. I also think by staying current with the techno wave I will improve my marketability if I ever needed to support the family.

Hey! This blog has already made my journal writing faster because I'm typing. I can make copies easily for my children, if I wanted. I can create an index to help me find entries, correct spelling, and write legibly even if I'm tired or my nails are cracked. So if this little thing helps adding up the rest should really improve our lives.

Heavenly Father is blessing us with these wonderful things. Yes, we need to be careful, but it would be ungrateful and stupid to put my head in the sand and not use technology for the wonderful things it can do.
