Life Balance™ application for iPhone helps people manage busy lifestyles.
Franklin, MA, November 13, 2008. Millions of multi-tasking mobile professionals struggle to keep up with the demands of their busy lives. Life Balance software for iPhone and iPod touch was just released for sale exclusively on the iPhone App Store to address the growing need for a new style of personal productivity tool. Life Balance™ is personal coaching software that helps you to decide what to work on, so that you can put your effort into the goals, projects and tasks that really matter to you.
Co-author and Llamagraphics’ company president, Catherine E White says, “For many people, conventional time management systems just result in a vicious cycle of procrastination, guilt and tension rather than in stress reduction, efficiency and happiness. Once you begin using Life Balance to get your daily routines under control, you experience a different way to approach the whole process of making positive life changes. Then, the software becomes like having a very organized roommate, who lets you know everything that is going on, but who is also willing to sit quietly with you under a tree.”
The iPhone App is out, the iPhone App is out!!!
Are you guys going to create an iPhone forum section?

Road to iPhone: Screen Rotation
You never really know a new platform until you use it every day. Sure, you can read Human Interface Guidelines to get the basics, but the subtler aspects of user interaction really demand that you spend some time every day with a device to learn its strengths and weaknesses.
Road to iPhone: Rethinking the Outline for Life Balance
Designing the iPhone version of Life Balance has been an interesting experience for all of us here at Llamagraphics. Having a device that is in some ways so small, and in other ways so capable, has given us an opportunity to rethink some of the design decisions that we've made in other versions of our software.
New Releases posted for Life Balance!
What's new in Life Balance 4.1 and 3.5
For Mac and Windows, we've added new Move Up/Down/Left/Right menu items to the Task menu that can be used to rearrange your Outline. On Mac, the keyboard shortcuts for these commands are Control-Command arrow key. On Windows, the shortcuts are Control-Alt arrow key.
For Palm, we've also added "Catch Up," "Skip," and "Defer Until" commands to the Task menu in the To Do List view. You can check out how it works in the revised manuals.
On all platforms, we've added icons that appear in response to the Catch Up, Skip, and Defer Until commands so you can tell that these commands have taken effect. These icons disappear when the to-do list is updated, so you will only see them on Mac and Windows if your to do list is locked.
What's coming up next? Life Balance for iPhone, of course!
Posting these releases for our existing platform customers clears the way for us to follow through with the upcoming new platform release of Life Balance for iPhone.
Yes, you can hear me now...
The Women: Four Generations of Our Women, meet on the Mountain to reconnect, and yes, there was croquet... a family tradition... this time, the course was set up in the woods...The women in my family decided that we needed to have a get together. No particular agenda, except that we were unwilling to drift along and with passing time, absentmindedly drift apart.
We are family. We all need our family faces to peer at for common expressions, crinkly smile lines, worry and pain, knowing glances and shades of meaning. There are family messages of support and understanding that must be done in person. Hugs must be delivered properly. Hands must be held. Cats must be herded. And we must stand shoulder to shoulder, at least for as long as it takes to capture the group photograph.
In our family, and I suspect in many others as well, the women are the glue that hold the whole darn domestic kit and kaboodle together. We are opinionated, strong minded, honest and intelligent, often loud, raucus and very funny, especially when we are all together.
"The Myth of Multi-tasking," the challenge for many is to read this excellent article in The New Atlantis without interruption
Christine Rosen, the senior editor of The New Atlantis and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center has written one of the best articles on "The Myth of Multi-tasking" that I have read in some time. This article includes references to the latest neuroscience research, as well as thought provoking speculation on what the consequences of out-of-control multi-tasking might be for our society.
Stressed out? Try some Art.... Twenty Five Cents, EXACT CHANGE ONLY!
Recently came across a fun picture on Engadget of a Anger Release vending machine by artist Yarisa Kublitz. The
Now, in my opinion, all vending machines are just as hostile as this artist's rendition, and they ALL probably could use a moment to chill out and relax once in a while.
