I am a list maker. Or at least I try to be.

It is a habit that I am sure I picked up from my mom. She was always SO organized. She had working lists for all sorts of stuff. And boy, could she get things done! She seemed to always have whatever list she was working off of with her and easily accessible. A detail that sometimes escapes me. But that is where a new service from Gubb shows promise to me.

Gubb, a free service, appeals to my ‘inner geek’. Not only because it is web based but also due to the way in which you are able to utilize the service.

So what is it about Gubb that makes it worth mentioning here you ask? Well let me tell you. And thank you for asking, by the way!

Gubb (did I mention that it is free) allows you to create your list on the web. Which is not new or different. What distinguishes Gubb from other online list services is it’s accessibility, which is a function of each list that you create.

Each list that you create has it’s own email address. This allows you, or other’s if you wish, to add to your list as well as retrieve it. And with an SMS capable cell phone (one that can send and receive text messages) you can perform these same functions.

That means that the next time you make it to the grocery store only to discover you have left your list at home, you don’t have to try to remember what was on your list, only to arrive back home to find that you forgot the main ingredient of your planned culinary masterpiece. You simply whip out your trusty cell phone and text ‘get’ to the contact email of your list and, voilà, you get your list, as well as maintain a little of your sanity.

Sounds like fun, huh?

Enjoy!
