Time Management & PDAs
"I am making this site available to help folks who have a PDA (Pocket PC or Palm) to better use their PDAs for effective time management. Much of what is said herein also applies to a laptop/desktop or Tablet PC environment as well. The advice provided herein has been distilled from my 28 years of professional experience, participation in numerous seminars, reading of numerous books, and over four years of very active use of PDAs."
This is a useful site for those of you who want to apply principles of time management using your Pocket PC or Smartphone. There are articles worth reading on the site - now if I could only download a Self Dicipline 1.0 upgrade to stay focused on things that I know I need to do. :roll:

Jason,
Thanks for the plug: it truly means a lot coming from you.
(BTW, I didn't even notice this post until after I tried your neat program out. Makes me wish in a way that I had gone into bioengineering instead of EE, but, thirty years, there wasn't much going on in bioengineering - I continue to be fascinated about what we are learning about the human body, though.)
Well, back to x50v now - the A02 update just finished installing.
Thanks again,
Bruce

Ever since I first read that Compaq was coming out with the iPaq 3670, I've had glorious dreams of being super-organized. I'm certainly no David Allen or Stephen Covey but I consider myself to be much more organized than I was four years ago. But out of all the systems and programs I've tried, I keep coming back a to combination of Pocket Informant, PhatNotes and ListPro. These three programs have me covered, unless I have to enter the dreaded paper realm.

Thanks. I'll have to check it out. I'm mostly limited to what I can find in the freeware realm, and I've found some useful apps. Jason, if you ever find Self Discpline 1.0, can you forward the link to me?

Am I the ONLY one that can get along with no additional software?
I type in everything schedule wise in my Calendar. My Calendar outlines what I am doing on any day and with filters I can find important events rather quickly as well.
Tasks allows me to highlight a specific event, task, or day. One that item is complete, I delete the task.
What is the huge benefit of those other utilities?

I can get to work in a Hugo, or a scooter for that matter, but I still prefer the SUV. I think its just a matter of what you are comfortable with.
Personally, I find the built-in apps, especially Tasks, to be very difficult to work with. Icon driven screens are easier to follow on a PPC.
