Meet Sandy Your Own Professional And Free Assistant
Sandy is a groovy chick. In fact she is so groovy that she can help you remember important events in your life. Instead of having to spin your own mind about upcoming appointments and things to do, your assistant Sandy can do all the hard work for you.
Best of all, it doesn’t even cost a dime. So, who can benefit from Sandy’s help? If you are a busy professional, or even a parent who always seems to forget things, then Sandy might be the right assistant for you.
It costs nothing to check her out anyway. While the service does look great, I wanted to find out whether it is helpful to use Sandy because after all, you do have to tell Sandy first what you want to be reminded off.
This has one potential problem.
You could end up spending excessive time trying to organize your virtual assistant instead of simply writing things down on pen and paper. personally, I have always been a pen and paper person. I am much more familiar with a Moleskine than I will ever be with a Blackberry. Believe me, I did try the digital road years ago but soon gave up when it took me hours to insert data.
Plus, the feeling of pen and paper has something tangible anyway, don’t you think? Are you a digital or a paper person?
Sandy can do the following for you:
- To do lists
- Appointments
- Contacts
- Reminders
- Book arks
- Lists
- Notes
Upon closer inspection I learned that working with Sandy is as easy as sending emails. You need to be reminded, send Sandy an email and she will send you one back at the right time. Of course, you will have to remember to check your email too.
There are no downloads or installs and you could be up and running with Sandy after you create a free account.
Sandy also works closely with the productivity tools you already use, like calendar, to-dos and contacts. Pretty nifty since this will save you the addition of having to insert extra data.
My verdict is simple. Sandy could be a great little helper if utilized correctly. Like with every tool, we need to use them to make the most of it. personally I won’t, since I am happy with my Moleskine setup. But for those of you who need gentle reminders to get things done and remembered, Sandy looks promising.

Yes this looks pretty good though it would see very similar to the role of Microsoft Outlook which i use for reminders – I also sometimes use the Google event notification service which again is very similar.
So maybe Sandy can offer something different to these already well established services?

@ Olly: Yeah, she can offer that sizzling twist of having a female personal assistant if there is something like it.
Nice post Monika. So far I’ve been fairing well with just writing things down in notepad. I will definitely check Sandy out as sometimes I do need reminders but I’m usually too lazy to update my Google calendar. Also I can remember a lot of things right now, so hopefully using a tool like Sandy will not make my brain less sharp.

@ Thaya: What I liked most about Sandy is the fact that we can send all reminders to her by email. No fussing around with dozens of applications to get the job done.
I’m sure you won’t lose brain juice by using Sandy. It might even free you up to remember more since you might be less stressed by not having to remember everything.
