Work at home / at home

Not only working at home, but life in general, try to keep your information asmninę - probably had many tiny notebooks or higher, where the gathered evidence of the various comments and other information - schedules, tasks, and so on. Been improved and cheaper computers, phones, most of this information began to accumulate in them.

I admit, I started to collect everything from simple text failiukų to open with a notebook, then I started using txt editor is improved. The information storage method has its advantages - you separate directories (folders), you can store other types of files, for example. Excell.

But the build-up text file content management and search becomes quite difficult, so start looking for a better way.

In short, I will present various ways. In fact, most have tried a lot of them really: Notebooks -> [do not remember] -> dtNotes -> Keynote -> MindManager -> GdoOrganizer -> Outlook -> Notezilla -> OneNote -> Evernote.

As you can see here almost four types of programs, each has its advantages:

• Sticky Notes (dtNotes, Notezilla) - you can attach messages on the screen.
• Organizers (Outlook, GdoOrganizer) - You can simultaneously use the calendar, and tasks in one program
• MindManagers (Mindmanagers) - Brain-type program, which creates a central information unit (eg projects), and tied it to the other pieces of information (eg Projejktas 1, Project 2) and ttt
• Information gathering (Keynote, OneNote, Evernote), this program meets the most basic functions. such programs and goals.

In fact migrate in search of the most advanced program, the last time raising goals were as follows:

Personally, the way of information storage requirements of these programs:

Thus, the necessary features:

• Tree - the tree-like structure should be, because if you just have tags, they often result in 300 and maybe understand what's quite difficult to
• Tags - guidelines - a great advantage
• Synchronization - should be in sync with other software, usually MS Outlok because it synchronizes with millions of others
• Portable - with portable version that saves installation
• PC - with a computer version of Ofline
• Pocket PC - with Windows Moblie or java version
• Online - to see everything and online
• Export - Export data to access
• Wysiwg - a visual editor for editing

Well, the other quite unique features, so insert a separate column rather beprasimiška.

Here's my candidate:

• dtNotes
• Keynote - have not reopened, but much more powerful system. Now, I would suggest the use of Seon
• Extora - Organizer + Notes. It has become payable, but is free only for free version
• Notezilla - funkcioanlios very "sticky notes". But now is to just keep these free Hottnotes
• OneNote - a powerful, highly funcionalus Microsof product. They say the latest version of the already looking even audio files, but I was not the. But the pictures are finding the text perfectly.
• Outlook . All it knows. Do stout Microsoft's flagship. Now you can try for free.
• EssentialPIM - more "Organizer" to be paid, but very functional and very fast. It is far better than the stout MS Outlook
• Evernote - you must have
• Google Notebook - notes online storage. I use firefox best sidebar'e (opening http://www.google.com/notebook/ig , create a "bookmark" properties and note the "load in sidebar)
• Mindmanger - paid for, one of the best "brain" type programs, but you are free to use FreeMind or one of many similar online tools

So we see that the contest winner is .. Evernote , which has all the necessary features and benefits. So far, only one did not reflect - that I could use it in Firefox sidebar, that any time I open a browser, like Google Notebook. Unfortunately, the message can not attach onto the screen, but it is already doing with other programs, and little miss.

By the way, Google Notebook has another huge advantage - it is perhaps the best of the above renders sharing (sharing), so it is advisable to use it in groups.

There is only one part of the programs in the future I hope to touch Organize, Todd managers, etc.
