Everyday Randomness

Keeping Organized

Because I work at home, you would think my days are really laid back with no set structure of things I have to get done right now. Things are exactly the opposite around here. If I don’t plan out my day, I don’t get anything done. Whether it’s laundry, dishes, just the daily house cleaning, or work, I’ve got to write it all down to keep myself organized and on task. I’m bad about having a ton of notebooks around my desk. Normally I’ll choose one and make out my list of daily things I have to do. Half the time I forget which notebook I used for my list, so I have to waste time searching through them all to find out exactly what I have planned for the day. Things would be so much easier if I just had a personal organizer on my computer. I’ve tried a few programs like this, but I just haven’t found one yet that I like.

I was checking out Achieve Planner time management software, and I think I’m going to give it a try. There’s a free trial download, so I don’t have to waste money on a program I don’t like, but I can still save myself the time and energy of trying even more freeware programs that don’t work. The list of features Achieve Planner offers is so huge I just can’t list them all, but you can see the full list for each version at www.effexis.com/achieve/feature-comparison.
