If you're constantly looking for new ways to organise your life, then you might find that Agenda MSD Personal fills a gap that other programs have failed to.

Using an organiser like this has many advantages, not least that it saves you time and effort trying to keep track of what you have to do next and when you have to do it. The program doesn't win many marks for visual appearance - it's not exactly the most attractive organiser I've ever seen but what it does excel in is organisational features - there's just about nothing that you can't enter into this program. This includes everything from managing your daily activities, your phone book, and banking transactions to, if you're managing a business, your dealings with clients, suppliers and other contacts. It even stores essential passwords and usernames for your favourite sites and applications so that you don't waste valuable time in that department either. As an additional bonus, you can print out and save schedules and even histories in PDF format so that you've got a hard copy in case of any crashes to your system or confusions in your appointments.

If you're not bothered by looks or navigation issues, this is a fully comprehensive organiser that caters for every conceivable need.

I must admit it: unless somebody is constantly on me, reminding me all the upcoming important events and tasks, I tend to forget my term paper's due date, the doctor's appointment date or even my mom's birthday. So if you're anything like me, you're going to like Note Mania.

This easy note application is more than just a digital post-it pad to jot things down. It's a complete personal information manager where you can store all the important dates, events, tasks and other data you can't miss. As the program supports note scheduling, you can use set reminders for yourself and also mark certain notes as recurrent events, turning Note Mania into a comprehensive calendar tool to schedule both your personal and professional lives. Notes are displayed as individual floating windows, listed on the program's main interface and also arranged on Note Mania's embedded calendar.

Besides its handy functionality, another outstanding feature in Note Mania is its support for customization. Notes can be personalized in many ways: paper color, text color, font face, size and event transparency level. Also, these settings can be applied globally or to each individual note. The program's calendar, however, uses your Windows wallpaper as background decoration and cannot be customized in any way.

With Note Mania you'll organize your tasks in a more productive way won't lose track of any important date or event in your life again.

Conceptual maps or mindmaps are a great way to organize ideas and improve workflow when you're involved in a complex task or a team project.

With Cayra you can now create those concept maps in a very clear, well-structured way. Unlike other expensive mindmapping utilities, Cayra is an open-source tool that won't cost you a cent: on the downside, this means that it's not as complete as other similar apps. Nevertheless, the program includes all the tools and functions you need to create conceptual maps with nodes, links and categories, all with different colors and very attractive animation effects.

Maps can be saved in the program's proprietary format, which you can then open and browse with Cayra itself, or as images (JPG and BMP) which you can open with any third-party image viewer.

In spite of being a little basic when compared to other more complete mindmapping tools, Cayra is still a great tool to create your own conceptual maps and improve your work organization and productivity.

Aibase is optimized for structuring thoughts and ideas in an efficient information space, leading to many positive effects on learning, creative work, task solving and project management. An efficient information space relieves the human memory in many ways. Computer memory is typically used as long-term memory.

But optimized information spaces like Aibase also adapt to the specialties of the human short-term memory: They cluster related information visibly, and by links and notes. They emphasize information by colors. Fast navigation, automatic document-creation and single-key operations give you more time to focus on your information. You can quickly break down complex information into trees for better understanding.

Aibase allows you to solve tasks with largest complexity. Such a task can grow up to thousands of linked documents (by help of automatic document-creation). The more complex a task, the higher the demands on the human memory.

And the reverse: If the human memory is relieved, then the solvable complexity, quality and security increases. Users who spend much time with Aibase will even find that they never reach limits to understand new complex information.
