If you’re an investor/entrepreneur/speaker  heading DLD Tel Aviv this week, meeting with lots of people: from investors to partners, press and others – you are going to have a very busy week. DLD is a big conferences, which holds lots of opportunities. Doing it right could open the right doors for you, and on the other hand – it could be an overwhelming experience. 

On top of all those small little things you need to make sure you have (chargers, comfortable shoes and tons of business cards), you also need to capture everything that happens, make sure you are not missing any important event and in short – be on top of things. 

Here is how 24me  Smart Personal Assistant can help you make the most out of DLD Tel Aviv Conference:

24me Calendar

A LOT is going on. Investors that you have been in touch for long time and that you are finally going to meet face to face, potential partners that you would like to establish connections with, media and press and other people that could help you grow your startup. Meeting with bunch of of people in different locations of the conference, in different times, could be really hard. The people you are most likely want to meet with are usually packed with meetings and other commitments, and sometimes they even decide in the very last moment about other tempting venues. So how would you make it happen and meet with them?

First, put all meeting in 24me calendar, and share it with the person that you meeting with, and in this case – the sooner is better!  That’s how you are increasing the chances that the meeting will take place. Provide in the meeting invite all the data needed, from time that you are meeting, your mobile phone number and the place that you are planned to meet. Highlighted in the subject of the meeting your name and your company so there will always be a context.

In addition, make sure you put in 24me calendar all the important events you don’t want to miss including parties and other network events. If you are invite to events, RSVP so it would appear on your schedule .There are lots of distractions around, and 24me provides you with a personalized dashboard to navigate between all different events.

24me Tasks

So you are meeting with lots of interesting people, and lots of action items have taken: from information that need to be sent, to follow ups for next steps.

Track all the things you need to do in 24me Task Manager. Assign due dates for tasks so it will will keep you in the context of the conference. We also suggest to create a new label called ‘DLDTLV’, so will be easier for you to track and manage everything. If there are tasks you need to share with your team, 24me allows you to do so by sharing tasks with a group of people, giving you and your team the option to be fully synced.

The sooner you would accomplish all tasks and action items, the better you would perform in front of the people you’ve met with. There’s nothing more impressive than someone that is on top of things who tracks and delivers on time.

24me Notes

If you ever visited big conferences before, you are probably familiar with this feeling post the conference where there’s small mountain on your desk full of business cards, and now a new game comes to play – who is that person? why do I have this business card and what the hell have we spoken about? People tell us that in a typical conference they get between 20 to 120 business cards. But what’s the context of each?

Using 24me smart notes is perfect for this usecase. Take a screenshot of the Business card, with a short summary of the person you have just met, and all relevant information. Define a due date for this note, as if you just created a meeting summary that is actionable. Notes with due dates will appear on your calendar (colored in yellow). 24me notes is a great solution for the things you don’t want to forget.

Remember, the power is not only with attending and schmoozing with people, the best performing people are the ones who use the opportunities those kind of conferences provide, track and execute everything post conference, and follow up with people to create the best results for their businesses.

“I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do – the day after.” ― Oscar Wilde

Identify with this quote? This is the right place for you! Come and learn how to fight one of the biggest problems that plagues every one of us.

The art of procrastination is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference of more urgent ones. It could even be doing more pleasurable things in place of less desirable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time or, the “last minute” before the deadline.

How does it affect our lives? And why is it one of the best ways to ensure failure, or at least sabotage our level of success? Research show that procrastination makes people feel weak, useless, and helpless. In addition, 1 in 5 people procrastinate so badly that it may be jeopardizing their jobs, their credit, their relationships and even their health. According to Pies Steel, a human resources professor at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business, 95% of the population procrastinates at times, with 20% being chronic offenders. As it is shown, every one of us procrastinate at some point in our lives but we have some very good news! We can help you fight it and overcome it by adopting some simple steps. First of all, be honest, admit you have a problem and REALIZE that you procrastinate. The second step is to figure out WHY you procrastinate. The third step is where we come into the picture! Ready to overcome procrastination and get things done, not tomorrow, but today? 24me has the perfect solution waiting just for you!

With the new year knocking on our doors, everyone is making their own New Year’s resolution. Here is a great way to keep it: 24me  is out with a New Year’s treat, “Procrastination Fighter” – a smart algorithm that fights procrastination by learning the user’s behavior, looking for open slots in the calendar, and kicking butt by sending a notification with the right time to complete overdue tasks. The new version offers another great feature for the new year:  “Personalized Calendar” –  customize your calendar with your own photos.

“A year from now you may wish you had started today.” ― Karen Lamb

 So stop procrastinating and download 24me NOW!

Did you know that everyone is more productive at different hours? This is a problem everyone from Steve Jobs to Joe the Plumber has attempted to solve. Even though we still divide ourselves into morning people and night owls everybody feels most productive at different hours. Not only that, what is most surprising is that the hours we are most active have little to do with are sleeping habits or work hours. So, when are you really at your most productive? That’s a hard question to answer because the productivity times of differs from person to person.

What we do know is that you cannot add hours to the day and that it is important to recognize when you are at you most productive to take advantage of those hours. Luckily most people are able tell when they are at their most productive.

Still, it is true that some people are the paragon morning person or night owl yet, most people fall somewhere in between.  Now for all you night owls working the morning shift or early birds working the night shift there are ways to remain productive. One method is to do jumping jacks (other exercises are available) to help increase productivity and another is to schedule your day around your energy cycle. However, the best method is coffee, lots of coffee.

How about you? Leave us your comment below and tell us what time you feel the most productive.

I am excited to announce 24me version 3 – our biggest update in the past year. This update includes an iOS 8 Widget, new design, and a great new addition – Smart Notes!

24me, being a unified app for all calendars, to-do’s, notes and personal accounts, arranges the schedule into one simple view that unifies all the different pieces – that you can see now on your  Today Widget.

The Smart Notes takes 24me to the next level allowing you to add your memos and notes and embed rich media such as videos and photos alongside your events, meetings and tasks – all in the same place – your calendar.  You can use notes in many ways: to take meeting minutes, to set a reminder with many details, or just to keep a simple diary – a memory that will reside on that day of your calendar.

We invested significant efforts to make our Notes experience as fun as possible.

Check out our video and be the first to try 24me version 3.0. If you like our new version, it would be great if you could leave your comments and reviews on the AppStore.
