Remembering Your Favorite Seattle Summer Festivals

Bite of Seattle.

Summer in Seattle means festivals and events!  Ever leave the Bite of Seattle trying to remember what that delicious little vendor was?  Ever attend Bumbershoot only to forget the name of that cool new band you heard?  Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.  Here are some of the biggest upcoming events this summer, as well as how to remember everything you discover!  Two apps—Evernote and Shazam—will become your best friends!

Seattle Beerfest – July 6-8
Use Evernote to make a note of your favorite beers you taste.
Bite of Seattle – July 20-22
Use Evernote to record the names of the best vendors, as well as the dishes you like most.  Include pictures of the dishes if you want to try making your own versions.  Evernote even has a food section that you might find useful.
Capitol Hill Block Party – July 20-22
Turn Shazam on when you hear a great song—it will tag the artist and song name for you to reference later.
Seafair – August 3-5
Use Evernote to take pictures of cute decorations and dishes that you might want to try next year.  If you’re having picnics or going out on boats, record items you don’t want to forget (or after the fact, record items you found necessary that you should bring next year).

Bumbershoot – September 1-3
Use Shazam to tag artists and song names whenever you hear great music.

Very illuminating going over my weekly review checklist and realizing that the parts of the work I dread doing are the things I don’t have systems and structure for… I can see already that this is going to be a big help, and wish I’d gotten started sooner!

I loved your presentation of Email Organizing 101. The presentation was clear and informative, and you offered wonderful tips to make our busy lives easier.

Time and money well-spent.Jennifer S., Merrill Lynch

Quick Tips

When someone gives you a business card, make notes on the back to jog your memory later. Notes might include when you met, what you discussed, potential relationship, etc.
Create a system for processing business cards you receive. Try delegating the data entry portion of the task to an assistant or intern.
When downloading an image or file, make sure to save it in a specific folder rather than to your desktop.
To reduce digital clutter, unsubscribe to email newsletters you don’t read.
Try setting time limits for tasks that easily eat away your day, like responding to email or checking Facebook.
For large, time-consuming tasks, break them down into smaller sub-tasks and spread them out over the day or week.
Start prioritizing your tasks to ensure you spend your time and energy doing what is important.
Create a set of email policies for your small business so everyone’s on the same page when it comes to writing and sending emails.
If you can respond to an email in 2 minutes or less, tackle it now.
Schedule a time/date to file and clean your files (weekly or bi-monthly).
