What I’m doing this evening.

Today is Wednesday, so I don’t plan on going out this evening, as I have to go to work tomorrow morning. This might change though, as I am somewhat spontaneous depending on my mood, or if I become really bored. If I stay home, I will probably browse the internet, or read something on Kindle, or buy something on Amazon, or brainstorm on something to write about.

There is one other thing I am going to do. I use an app called Microsoft To Do to remind me of things I need to do each day, mostly financial things. Like the name sounds, it’s just a fancy todo list in app form. It can also be accessed through a browser. Looking at this app, it tells me that I need to enter the statement from one of my credit cards into my personal finance application.

I set these todo items up by going to the credit card company web sites, finding the date when they make the statements available, and then setting up a reminder to tell me to go enter and balance it. Today is the day when one of my credit cards should have the statement ready. I find this very handy, as I don’t have to think about it, or constantly go look at the site to see if the statement is ready.

The software I use to manage my personal finances is called Quicken. I just started using it this year. I enter the credit card statements manually out of habit, but I think there are ways to synchronize with the credit card companies. Actually entering it makes me very cognizant of where I’m spending my money, which is a good thing.
