Get organized with Cozi

June 3, 2008 | By valmg |

I am the keeper of the calendar in my family. The best place to check what’s happening on any given day is in the planner that I keep in my purse. The problem is, it always seems that when one of us wants to know what’s going on on a particular day, we’re not together. I’m sure there are a lot of families out there in similar situations. That’s where Cozi comes in.

Cozi is a website that can help your organize almost any aspect of your family life. After creating your free family home page, you can do all sorts of things on it. There’s a family calendar for tracking appointments, activities, events, functions, parties, dates, whatever you’ve got going on. It can be synced by using the Cozi Outlook toolbar and it can eeven send your schedule to online calendars such as those you find in Google. You can create lists within the calendar, for things like groceries or things you need to do. Users can leave messages for other family members on the bulletin board.

You can log into your Cozi account from any computer that’s connected to the internet. You can configure Cozi to send your appointments to your mobile phone as a text message. Or, if you don’t text you can call Cozi’s toll free number to hear your appointments. That’s a very cool feature!

Cozi looks pretty cool, and I bet it would be helpful to a lot of people. Visit Cozi for yourself, and let me know what you think.
