Organize your world

It must be a sign of getting old. I can no longer remember the things as well as last time. As I am looking around for something to help remind me of all the things I have to do, I found a number of interesting tools. These software can appear as calendar organizer on your desktop and float above your normal desktop wallpaper.

One of my favorite is Rainlendar.
This is not the run of the mill calendar that sits pretty on your desktop and do nothing. Rainlendar looks quite similar to the Window Vista Calendar gadget but it can do far more. I find Rainlendar to be light and its appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.

You can also subscribe to online calendars including the Google Calendar and edit your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar.

One click on the calendar allows you to set the events for the day. You can see the week's events at one glance. You can also decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. You can mark the important events with icon so to distinguish it from the others.

You may use the To Do list to keep yourself organized. You can also set a due date and alarm for the tasks to make sure you'll remember to do them on time.

Rainlendar Pro is a shareware and cost EURO 9.95. Rainlendar Lite is free. You may download it from http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php?option=com_rny_download&Itemid=32.
