In my traditional paper notebook, I traditionally log an entry with the title “Research Effort” and the day’s date.<\/p>\n
For example, May 23, 2013 Research Effort.<\/p>\n
I tend to note the start time and end time for my record-keeping purposes.<\/p>\n
I also typically write down my general weekly objectives, and then daily objectives, with notes to keep track of where I left off so I can continue easily the next day.<\/p>\n
Obviously I can write itemized lists very easily in this blog.<\/p>\n
However, I would like to experiment with creating a “To-Do” list in Google Tasks, using my personal e-mail account. \u00a0The University of Tennessee uses Office 365, which does have a “Task Management” feature, but as far as I can tell, there is no way to export the list.<\/p>\n
If this were my own, personal lab notebook, I could very easily import my task list via e-mail, by using the “publish via e-mail” feature in wordpress. \u00a0Unfortunately I don’t think I can do that with this blog, since it is a shared platform. \u00a0It is possible that I could write my tasks for the day into this digital notebook, as I would in a traditional paper notebook, and then e-mail the blog entry to myself, hopefully converting the task list to a Google Task to-do list.<\/p>\n
Here is the task list I just e-mailed to my personal University of Tennessee e-mail address from my personal, private e-mail account:<\/p>\n
I could potentially start the day with such a task list, and then use each task as a heading, systematically moving through each task and jotting down nodes as appropriate.<\/p>\n
I am curious if there is a desktop application for Mac (which I use at home) or PC (which I use at the center for communication and Information Studies). \u00a0Quick Google search:<\/p>\n

My interest is primarily in having a smaller window which could be moved to the periphery of my workspace, taking up a smaller area than the current, very large space occupied by a fully opened WordPress “Add new Post” window.<\/p>\n
Looks like the options listed there cost money – should look for “FREE” apps for wordpress..<\/p>\n
