Hello,

I am looking for a software which could help me manage my planning and my time.
I do have an agenda on which I write all my deadlines but I am looking for a tool which would allow me to define my planning as orders get in so that I can organize my time better. Any suggestions?

Outlook Jul 7, 2010

This might not be the answer you're looking for, but for me Outlook is enough. I keep separate folders for my clients and other issues, and move messsages there as soon as I'm done with the issue they are about. So, my Inbox contains only things to do that I can see at a glance. Plus, I use the Outlook calendar for reminders.

I would recommend Jul 7, 2010

Translation Office 3000.

It contains everything you would need - database, invoicing, planning and many-many more.

The "many-many more" can be a problem, though. Does it have a plaification-only mode? Or is the user forced to make use of its other features in order to use the planificator?

Thank you Adam. I tried to use the Outlook calendar but it didn't really help me as it was more or less an extension of my paper agenda.

Natalie, I have TO3000, it is great for invoicing but the planification function is not very clear IMO.

I was reading this article today - not sure if you'll find it helpful:

There are other articles there which might make for interesting reading.
