I don't know about anyone else here, but I've been struggling over the
last year to make a decision whether to manage my tasks through an
Outlook add-in like Franklin Covey's PlanPlus for Outlook, or a
standalone product like MyLifeOrganized.
I'm a heavy Outlook user, as it is our company's tool of choice, and
I'm managing 100-200 e-mails a day within it (using ClearContext as a
way to prioritize them), and a lot of my tasks originate from the e-
mails I receive. The ONLY problem with outlook for me is the lack of
hierarchal tasks, but it's a big one as I need to structure them like
that.
I've tried Frankin Covey's PlanPlus, and like the fact that I can
create Projects and hierarchal tasks. A huge plus is that all the task
are within outlook, and can be synched with my PPC, Blackberry, etc.
The big negative is that it appears buggy and "takes over" Outlook.
Based on past history, it doesn't seem like they are very good at
fixing bugs.
MyLifeOrganized, on the other hand, is an excellent task management
program. However, it requires I synch tasks between it and Outlook. I
also lose the integration and links between my tasks and the e-mail
the task originated from.
I would appreciate opinions from anyone who has gone through this. Is
there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
