More than one task manager (Using LB with Daylite)
Lifebalance has been on my computer for years. I recently started using Daylite for customer relations management. I see that there was some discussion of Daylite in the forums a few years ago which evolved into a good bashing of Daylite, which it likely deserved.
However, it looks like Daylite has become a dependable business CRM app for the Mac. I like Daylite for task management because it has the ability easily link the task to contacts, opportunities, and projects. Daylite also allows me to share information and task delegation with colleagues.
Still, Lifebalance is what I want to use to decide the priority of what get's done - not only from the standpoint of deciding amongst competing business tasks, but - from amongst the entire spectrum of items which include the non-work items that I hold in LB (and not in Daylite).
Right now, it seems like the only way to use both is to use both separately, i.e. redundancy.
Do other folks use Daylite or other task manager applications and, if so, how do you integrate your use of LB with them?
Haven't checked on Daylite for some time...
I don't know what Daylite is like these days.
Applescript, automator might be good choices depending on what they support.
Life Balance also supports import and export of XML format, by section of Outline, which would be helpful if you are looking to just share the "Work" section of Life Balance with some Daylite colleagues, say.
Life Balance document format for XML is documented, if that is helpful to you.

it may take some scripting.

Using LB with another PIM...
I have the apple iPhone which took the place of my palm tx. Because Life Bal is lacking in a few features I also need to use Informant as well as splashnotes. They don't work together well and what I would lite to see an area in Life Bal where we could just store documents or information copied on the internet. Further I would also like to have the ability to create a task and link it up to one or more documents I have saved in that section. Btw what u mentioned above would also ne nice.
