FollowUpThen helps me clear our my mental space to focus on important projects while capturing other important and creative ideas. - Julie Cohen

This post marks the beginning of a new theme for our followup.expert blog: user stories. FollowUpThen is such a flexible system, and there are so many ways to use it. Rather than hearing tips from us (software nerds), we thought it would be more productive to ask our users to share tips with each other. (If you'd like to share your story, get in touch! We'd love to hear from you.)

For our first interview, I had the pleasure of connecting up with Julie Cohen, a successful business owner, author, speaker and executive coach to ask her about how she uses FollowUpThen.

As with many of our users, Julie finds FollowUpThen to be a better tool that to-do lists in many circumstances. For those of us that spend much of our day in our email inboxes, this makes a lot of sense – with autocomplete, a quick reminder is, after all, only a few seconds away.

Read on to see how Julie uses FollowUpThen to make sure ideas don't slip through the cracks, manage an expanding business and stay on top of her email.

If you want to help create this feature, click this checkbox on your settings page. We'll handle the rest from there. You won't see much change in your followups yet, but you will be helping us build it by enabling it on your account.
