One of the ideas I got from researching the What’s on People’s Treo 600’s article was to take the 30-day free trial of Life Balance from Llamagraphics. This is a personal productivity application that runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Palm OS. Its purpose is to help users set goals, break them down into tasks, and complete them.
The difference between Life Balance and other productivity applications that I’ve used on the Palm is that Life Balance offers help balancing among personal, family, and business activities. Instead of simply providing a “To Do” list, Life Balance builds the To Do list dynamically from an goals outline.
Life Balance is a subtly complex application. Normally, I can download applications to my Treo, start using them, and just intuitively understand how to use them. I looked at the manual for the program within 10 minutes of launching it, and I expect to go back to it later today.
I will provide a complete report on Life Balance here in the next couple of weeks.
BTW, this screenshot is courtesy of Llamagraphics and doesn’t represent tasks that I’ve entered into my copy of Life Balance. For instance, I don’t know anyone named Morgan or Fluffy.
