Several years ago, I had the idea of humanising and transforming the electronic agenda so that it could help us to become more aware of how we use our time. I also wanted it to facilitate the success of the projects that matter to us..

In 2010, I undertook developing the MeoTempo life agenda.
It’s a conscious time management app for the iPhone and iPad.

“Gertrude, our exquisite and beloved ostrich,
is as a way to remind us that
our time is precious.”. »

By the way, conscious time management is not only a tech thing; it requires abilities of the mind.

The website includes a “Know-How” section which complements the “Product” section. Proposed articles are intentionally short - out of respect for your time.

After devoting more than eight years and a lot of cash to the project, and with the implication of quite a few folks, we are now better tooled to do what matters for us, such as bring our own little contribution to improve the planet.

And we now have this great idea for our very first project: give a 2nd life to hotel towels!

So, “Towel4u” means... let’s not throw the towel
out (litterally) or in (figuratively).

Litterally meaning
Nice and perfectly decent towels will find a second use rather than be thrown out. They will be given to shelters (ou “to people in need”).

Figuratively meaning
This small contribution, figuratively speaking, is our way not to throw in the towel as regards the catastrophic environmental situation we are faced with. It’s each small effort that counts to make our small planet clean again. And no, it’s not too late to act!

We contacted Hotel Manoir Victoria, in Québec City, who accepted right away to keep the towels for us.

And I contacted an old pal, Louis — who lives in Québec City —, and he spontaneously and generously accepted to pick up the towels and put them on the plane.

Et voilà, the project was launched!

The first delivery is expected for the beginning of 2019. The towels will be distributed to Iqaluit shelters.

We know that there is a constant need of towels in these shelters that host women who need some breathing space (there’s a shelter for men as well).

By the way, Iqaluit is in the Great Canadian North, close to Santa’s.
