I’ve been disappointed by the limitations of the typical to-do lists found in calendars, e-mail clients and such. So I went searching the internet the other day to try to find something better, yet a program that is also affordable. I found what I was looking for when I came across Efficient To-Do List by Efficient Software.
Efficient To-Do List is a stand alone software program that enables you to create to-do lists for any project at home, work or your small business. You can set start dates and due dates. It allows you to show the progress of the tasks also. You can set the priority of each task and you can also color code the task to define a category. There is also a window for writing your comments for each task that you add.
The free version does have some limitations. In the free version you cannot create groups with tasks, subtasks and siblings. If you want that option you’ll have to buy the Pro Version. That isn’t a problem though, as the program is very affordable. I would certainly recommend it.
If you’re like me, staying organized in your daily life is the only way to get things done and stay on top of it. By using Efficient To-Do List at home you can keep your daily life organized and teach your children how to do the same.
Use it for work and keep yourself organized to improve your on the job performance and impress your employer. If you run your own business, using Efficient To-Do List will increase your profitability.
Students also will find this application handy to organize their time and get their assignments and projects done in timely manner.
I found their help files to be informative and easy to understand. The software itself is intuitive, with a short learning curve. You’ll be up and running right away after you install it. The UI is that of a typical Windows UI and easy to navigate. Different skins are available also so you can customize the appearance of the window. By default Efficient To-Do List is set to open when you start your computer. When it starts, any reminders for tasks due will pop up. Any reminders are optional of course and if you didn’t want it opening on start up, that option can be changed also.
I’m running the program on my computer with Windows7, 64 bit. So far I’ve had no problems at all. I will be using this app for a long time and I’ll be looking at their other products as well.
Another thing I should mention, is that they also have a portable version available for free download. This one you can install on a flash drive to take with you to the office or home and use it on any computer. Now, how handy is that?
So go get your copy and get organized! You’ll be glad you did.
