Overview:
Life Balance is award winning coaching software that provides a dynamically ordered To Do List driven by the importance of your goals, your desired allocation of time and effort, and feedback from what you get done each day.
Life Balance is a time and task management program that helps you focus on what's really important to you and actively balance the often conflicting demands of career and personal life. Life Balance emphasizes the intrinsic importance that you've assigned to your projects and life goals, rather than arbitrarily filling every slot in your calendar. This helps you to spend your time and energy on what matters to you the most. You can be self-directed, and know that you are working toward long term goals while still managing your day to day routine.
Some of the features that set Life Balance apart from most to-do list software are:
- A built-in outliner so that you can organize your tasks into projects
- The ability to reprioritize all the tasks in a project by dragging a single slider
- An unlimited number of places (categories) that you can use to filter your to-do list
- Dependencies, so that Step B won't appear on your list until Step A is finished
- Routine tasks, like laundry, can be scheduled to happen with a flexible interval rather than scheduling for a particular day and time
- Lead times to gently bring your attention to approaching deadlines
- Integration with the schedule in your Palm's built-in Date Book
- Pie charts that provide feedback on how you are spending your time
- Unique "balance" feature nudges your to do list to help to bring your actual time and effort allocation more in line with your desires
- An active and knowledgeable User Community available in the User Forum to help answer questions and discuss how to get the most out of Life Balance software.
Life Balance helps you to set priorities and increase personal productivity in a very new way. Items on a to-do list can have a high priority for different reasons: because they are part of an important project, because the deadline is near-at-hand, because you are in the right place to take action, or because you have been neglecting the task.
Internally, Life Balance uses fuzzy logic math techniques to balance all these competing factors. As a result, it can provide you with an easy to use, sorted list that makes it simple to figure out what is the most important thing that you can do right here, right now.
Ultimately, Life Balance is software designed to help you achieve that feeling that you are living authentically and following your own unique path.
We have customers who have been successfully using the Life Balance self management methodology since 1995.
Additional Platform Details:
Desktop Edition for Windows!
Desktop Edition for Macintosh!
Mobile Edition for Palm OS!
Each Edition is a great application on its own. Even better when you sync them together! Using Life Balance for Palm and Macintosh or Windows together is like taking your own personal Life Coach with you everywhere!
Life Balance is arranged around an Outliner, where you break down projects into manageable tasks. You can schedule your appointments in either the Life Balance desktop Calendar application or on the Palm in the built in Datebook application. In the Task details, you can set where a task needs to take place, set the importance of the task to the project to which it contributes, add notes, and post the task to a Calendar. You can set hours for Places when they are open for business. You can set up a shopping center or town to include other places. In the To Do list, you get a view of your tasks in order of priority, with the most important tasks at the top for where you are right now. In the Balance section, you set up a pie chart which shows how you would like to be spending your time and effort. The Balance section then compares that to how you have been actually spending your time and effort as you check tasks off your list. Life Balance then makes adjustments to the To Do List view dynamically, to help you bring your workload into a balance that works for you.
With the new Desktop Editions in our product family you get all the power and flexibility of Life Balance. The desktop editions sync with the Life Balance Mobile Edition for Palm OS for easy data entry from your big computer! The conduit syncs among multiple interrelated databases with its own sync logic to avoid unnecessary and confusing duplicates. The Desktop Edition provides an easy reconciliation interface that puts you in control to say which record should be used. Desktop Calendar entries are synced between Life Balance and the built in Palm OS Datebook so you can take your Life Balance data with you as you run errands, go to work, pick up kids from school.
Use the Desktop Edition for strategy and long range planning. Use the Palm Mobile Edition to deploy your plans and get things done.
