Thanks to the wonderful world of twitter, I was made aware of a great free online resource the other day called minutes.io  that I thought would be a great resource for student councils to be aware of.

This site allows you to generate minutes from a meeting using an online template.After entering the headings you then need to enter the details of those present. Minute.io allows for sub-headings and topics down the side and breaks these into categories of TODO, OKAY, INFO, and IDEA.

One of my (many) goals for 2011 is to keep a clean desk both at home and work this year. Whilst I'm pretty good at managing the digital stuff, it's the offline hard copy stuff that I tend to be drowning in. Anyone who has seen my desk or pigeonhole at work will attest to this statement.I started reading "PaperFlow" by MaryAnne Bennie and Brigitte Hinneberg. I was instantly taken by the beautiful photo at the beginning of the book that showcased the incredibly clean desk and the matching red, white and dark brown stationary and storage options. This image symbolised what I so wanted to achieve for myself.
