If you’ve been reading our blog over the last few months, you’ve heard us talk about the benefits of team collaboration, and how businesses can effectively engage others in online collaboration. And if you’ve taken a look at our website, you’ve seen that we offer a (fantastic) business collaboration solution to do just the things we preach.

But today, I’m going to go over a few different ways to use OnePlace. Because, well, it’s not all about the business and the collaboration. It can be used for a great many things!

If you’ve been a fan of OnePlace for a while, you are well-aware that OnePlace is not only a business solution, but a personal solution as well. OnePlace can be used for many things not relating to work, and still be an effective tool. Here are a few examples of how OnePlace can benefit your personal organization and collaboration.

1. Managing your personal task list
If you’re like me, you love task lists, notes, calendars and schedules. With OnePlace, you can utilize the workplaces and tasks to input, schedule and complete your own task list. You can create tasks for everything, from paying rent to remembering to make a doctor appointment to attending the doctor appointment. These types of tasks can also be integrated into your iCal calendar to manage from your computer and mobile phone.

2. Collaborating with family members
If you are the head of your household, or want to engage your family members in an online community, use OnePlace! You can schedule tasks for your children to take out the trash or to clean up their rooms. You can hold an online conversation with your brother out of town to plan a family reunion. And your husband or wife can remind you via Team Pulse to pick up milk on your way home. Using OnePlace as your online family collaboration location means you are connected with your loved ones in a familiar online format.

3. Planning major life events
Just as you can schedule your personal tasks and collaborate with family members, you can combine the two to plan major life events. In case you weren’t aware, I am getting married in October and am using OnePlace to plan my wedding. I have all information and communication related to my wedding in my OnePlace account, and I know what I need to get done next to make sure my wedding happens just the way I want it to. OnePlace keeps everything organized related to big events, so you can relax and enjoy them.

And, if you’re already using OnePlace as your business organization and collaboration solution, you can begin to use it effectively from a personal standpoint as well. Give it a try, and watch how organized and connected you become in all aspects of your life.
