Two Time-ly Reminders
Time Management.
How important have those two words become? Modern life seems (to me) to be non-stop “multi-tasking”; and my mantra = “There’s Never Enough Hours In My Day”.
Time management was a major factor in my decision to get an android smart phone (see,, My First Look At Android, part 1). Trying to keep ‘on track’ means constant access to online appointment calendars and To Do lists (with audible ‘reminders’), and setting timers..
Time moves too fast, and I wonder, how did it get to be Thursday already?
Google Calendar became so important I bought a device for constant connection. What does that say?
Deadline reminder #1: Taxes
To help you meet this deadline, on the IRS website there is a page called “FreeFile”, and here you will find the “partnership links” to the free versions of 19 accepted tax prep programs — of which H&R Block’s Free File and also TurboTax are available.
To qualify, you must have an Adjusted Gross Income of $56,000 or less.
Today’s free link: FreeFile at the IRS
Note: there’s two buttons on the page; “I will choose” and “help me choose”. Though all of the programs there are accepted by the IRS, I would recommend clicking the “I will choose”, and then selecting either H&R Block or TurboTax.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
