Using Alive Organizer As A Scheduler
By: Zavada Andrey
The program Alive Organizer is intended for controlling one of the most important resources?time. The better we distribute our time between what we have to do and plan the current affairs taking into account long-term goals, the higher results we achieve. But planning your time with Alive Organizer provides you with not only the standard set: a calendar, schedules and tasks?but also the indispensable list of contacts with the most complete information and comfortable access, the list of notes (making it considerably easier to document minor tasks) and tasks with a set time for starting and finishing them, the list of events, the list of diaries (for documenting processes extended in time and requiring further analysis), etc.
Alive Organizer has a distinguishing set of features making it much easier to plan and manage your time. For example, you can view the to-do list both for the current date and for several days ahead. You can set an automatic reminder about starting or finishing a task. You can set any task to be carried out regularly (each year, day, hour, etc.).
In order to effectively use Alive Organizer, you should clearly understand the purpose of planning and benefits you get as a result. In other words, you should realize that the main advantage of planning is that it saves your time. The overall practical experience proves that spending more time on planning results in less time being spent on carrying out tasks and eventually in saving your time on the whole. However, it is obvious that spending more and more time on planning cannot constantly lead to saving time and increasing the efficiency of your work. Practical experience proves that spending ten minutes regularly at the beginning of a workday on planning saves you a couple of hours a day and, what is no less important, improves the way you spend your time. In other words, it is necessary to spend maximum 1% of overall period duration (a month, a week, a day, etc.) on planning.
There are a lot of tools that are used to make your control over your plans and also the planning process itself more effective. It can be a usual sheet of paper or a paper organizer. There are also a lot of software products supposed to make the planning procedure easier.
The Vitolab Software company offers its product Alive Organizer that allows you to plan you time and control your plans. Alive Organizer was developed when there were a lot of similar software on the market and that is why Alive Organizer takes into account many drawbacks present in other software and also introduces several features allowing you to make your work with the program easier and the planning process simpler.
Originally, Alive Organizer was created to be used within the Vitolab Software company. All employees in Vitolab Software use Alive Organizer to make their own schedules, to control and document their tasks. The deployment of Alive Organizer in the company allowed us to considerably increase the efficiency of the team and cut down the number of prolongations in case with projects. The overall effect of planning our time and deploying Alive Organizer was considerably higher than expenses on its development and implementation.
