To Do Oo Ah Ah

Do you have something pressing that really needs someone's attention? Someone...like, say...a parent, a sibling, a friend or {even better} a spouse ?

If you do, and you're tired of the typical "honey do" list or constantly having to ask "have you done this yet?" then I have something that just might be fun for you to try.

Recently, I discovered the JOY that is Monkeyon. Monkeyon is an internet-based service that allows you to create a task, to-do or action item and then deploy a virtual monkey reminder. The whole premise is that you, as the task creator, can sent a fun and light-hearted reminder and....as the recipient, you will now have a "monkey on your back." Oo oo ah ah!

The service has a "monkey dashboard" which allows you to see, at a glance, each of the monkeys you've deployed and their status. "Alive" means your monkey reminder is still in effect (daily reminders are being sent) and "Killed" means that the recipient has either marked the task as completed or the deadline has expired.

My husband hates loves when I send him reminder monkeys...so I try to use them sparingly, and for only the really big and important stuff. I'm so relieved to know that AKO (the Army's email system) doesn't filter out these messages as spam!

The service is free (for 5 deployed monkeys at a time) and $20 for additional monkeys. You can find it online at: www.monkeyon.com

Have fun!
