My Life Organized Software

[bhiggs]

I've recently started experimenting with a new outlining/project managment program, My Life Organized, http://www.mylifeorganized.net It is similar to Lifeballanced but comes in three versions lite (free), standard, and pro which includes a sync to Outlook. The program seems young in its development but is being actively devleoped and they are very open to suggestions. It currently does not sync to a palm or ppc, however if you sync to Outlook, you can transfer your data.

I'm only three days into the demo, but I would be interested in hearing what other people think.

I don't mean to sound negative but it looks _exactly_ like LifeBallance. Have you discovered any differences while evaluating it ?

[bhiggs]

It is very similar, execpt the devloper is working on the long time complaints of LB. Hiding completed tasks, formating options, etc. Plus it can sync directly to and from Outlook without having to do a double sync through your palm.

The LLamas ignore Outlook and the Pocket PC platform constantly and ride the horses palm and mac. I guess the best what could happen is that they are getting some competition now.

just my 02. cents

Thanks for sharing the link

I would not say that it is _exactly_ like LB.
It took many good things from LB indeed and there are some improvements. After using it for 2 days I would list these new features I like:

- goal setting (weekly goal brings task on the top of to-do)
- project tracking
- special views for both items above
- sync with outlook (quite smart btw)
- hide completed tasks in outline
- you can assign more then one place to a task
- hide in to-do option
- nice interface

What I do not like that there is no calendar and recurrent tasks. And no "balance" feature. There is a list of planned features somewhere on their site though. http://www.mylifeorganized.net/ (I did not review it carefully)

Besides there is a forum where developer is discussing planned features:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/myLifeOrganized

He mentioned for example user interface improvements. There is also discussion about to-do ordering and some ppc plans (what I like!)

So I would recommend trying this app.

Just quick note....

The Sync to Outlook has been greatly enhanced and a public beta was pushed out today complete with testing documentation and a glimpse of the calendaring features to come. Via this update Palm and PPC users are supported via outlook synchronization. The forthcoming ppc release will of course improve native support for the ppc. Suggestions from Palm users on how to improve the sync "via outlook" are certainly welcome....

ride the horses palm and mac.

I don't agree, there is a huge amount of stuff that needs to be done on the Mac side and there have be no big improvements on the Mac version since they released it.

The other thing that seems incredibly refreshing about this software is how open the developer is about new features. The LB folks always took the typical sofware company stance of not talking about such things.

Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the Franklin Covey project management software and My Life Organized. I just got an e-mail advertising the former at a fairly comparable price.

Thanks

My honest opinion is that the FC software is the worst calendar/todo software around. The trials and tribulations FC has inflicted on an unsuspecting public by the serious bugs and lack of support are unbelievable. The company closed their software support forum because it was all complaints! Their paper products continue to be useful, but their software is terrible. You will be better off with anything else.
