Watership Planner is different.
We should know, after all, considering how many organizational and time-management applications we sift through every month in our constant search for the cream of the crop.
Most planner utilities are basically just glorified task-lists or calendars -- really just digital substitutes for those re-fillable 3 ring binders of decades past. They'll save you the cost of ink and paper refills, but not so much in terms of time and sanity.
Like we said, Watership Planner is different.
For starters, Watership Planner reorganizes itself -- in real time -- based on the continual interruptions, changing priorities, and estimation slips that we all encounter every single day. Other planners force you to tediously move and re-position tasks whenever your schedule changes.
Watership Planner allows you to designate lists of tasks that need to be accomplished and automatically keeps up with their progress. It lets you estimate, at a glance, when any given task will be finished, and provides an accurate scoreboard that updates itself with every second of your progress.
Rather than relying on simple to-do lists and calendars, Watership Planner allows you to build detailed plans for all of your major projects. You’ll know what you have to do each day to move your goal forward. Stop trying to keep track of inflexible paper based charts, and even better, stop trying to juggle all those myriad tasks in your tired, overworked head.
Watership Planner helps you understand exactly where your time is going and within weeks you will optimize your days and cut out unimportant, trivial tasks. Work less and at the same time have that work make a bigger impact? Now that's different!
GTD mandates that we minimize inputs and systems. Watership Planner looks to be a great product, but it becomes another system to maintain as my business tools create appointments and tasks in Outlook. WP would have to integrate with Outlook, synchronizing tasks and appointments, in order for me to be actively interested in it. John
Hi John, You are not alone, Outlook syncing is our most asked feature and preventing many users from purchasing. I am working on it and it should be available shortly. However, Watership Planner offers so much more over Outlook including automatic scheduling, associating goals with tasks, timers, and charts that many users take the plunge even if it means the inconvenience of using two systems temporarily for Outlook users.
