organizers, planners, calendars, etc.
Hey guys. So yeah, I'm slowly sinking in a sea of tasks, chores, errands, appointments, etc. I feel like I'm slipping into a black hole of obligation. This has got to stop. And thus I turn to you, my LJ friends, to throw me a shovel.
I have a simple question: what softare do you use (or have heard is good to use) as a personal organizer thing? I want something that can do a little bit of everything -- calendars, todo lists, post-its, tagging, and any other intuitive designs that allow a maximum amount of my schedule to be clearly visible on the screen at any given time.
Email functionality isn't that important, just so long as it isn't so integrated into the program that you have to use it as your email client. I've been using client (The Bat! by RitLabs) for 5-10 years now and I don't think I'm ever going to change to Outlook or anything like that. (Everyone tried to get me to change to Eudora back in the day and now look how many people use it; plus I now constantly hear complaints about how chaotic Outlook is, so you do the math...)
edit: Okay this is what I get for posting at a quarter after three in the morning last night -- I forgot a ton of key requirements and info above. Firstly, I can't afford any new hardware and the software needs to be PC-oriented (though I'm still interested in what's good on Mac, so thanks for that). Also I'm currently looking at Mozilla Thunderbird with the Lightning and Spicebird add-ons as well as some new webapps like Remember The Milk and Scrybe. (Actually I still need an invite to Scrybe if anyone can hook that up.) Anyway, I see a lot of features that I like, but nothing that brings it all together.
Anyway, pleez halp. Thanks. :)
