MyLifeOrganized - powerful and flexible GTD-organizer
Ios / / December 20, 2019
Switch from Windows to Mac, I had not willingly and without resistance. But over time, Apple products have fallen to my taste so that Windows remember about the same way as a person driving on the Mercedes, remembers his first "Lada": with warmth and fear. But there is still an application that nothing and could not be replaced. This is a computer organizer MyLifeOrganized.
After a full transition to OS X, I gradually found my counterparts all necessary programs, and even more than expected. Only MLO replacement I was looking for a very long time, until he stopped at the famous OmniFocus. OmniFocus 2 It was even more beautiful and even in Russian, but our relationship did not exist.
The main difficulties I encountered when using OmniFocus 2, consisted of orientation: structure folders, and projects there, but visually it looks so uniform that is incredibly difficult to take solutions.
MyLifeOrganized deprived of this drawback is already "out of the box", and powerful auto-formatting features allow you to customize the appearance of the list of folders, projects, and tasks as soon as you see fit. No competitors MLO and filtering capabilities and create bookmarks with filter sets. So when I got the gift of the CrossOver, which I would just never bought, I immediately thought of the MLO, and established by the evening refused to use OmniFocus.
On the desktop version MyLifeOrganized you can learn more from the review "As one organizer 7 properties helped me put things in order». In this article, we will look with versions for iOS.
Appearance
I know that the color and taste of all the markers are different, but in this case, it seems to me, the appearance of MLO for iOS can not help but like.
Change the appearance, you can swipe. On the iPhone, for example, swipe from right to left on a task displays the data of the problem (context, belonging to the project, the start dates and the visibility in the To-Do list, and so on), and from left to right - management area.
In the version for iPad (MLO HD) svayp we add or hide sidebars side, until just a list.
properties task
When it is time to assign the task any property, we can according to our needs as a simple to use MLO "tudushnik" or feel the power of GTD. In the second case MyLifeOrganized allows us to specify properties, which can only come to mind.
- contexts may contain geopozitsiyu and issue reminders not only for arrival, but also after you leave a location. Also adjusted radiiwith aPositioning the reminder (from 0 m to 100 kilometers).
- Beginning and term. The beginning, we specify that the task did not interfere with our To-Do list until a certain time period and if, by the rules of the GTD, becomes meaningless after the execution of the task. I'm a little depart from this rule and shall timing deadlines as for meetings and events tied to the date, I use iCal. And it is justified, since the MLO is synchronized with the calendar (see. below).
- Reminder. Not to forget the task at the right time and do not clutter up the list of terms.
- The importance and urgency. The ability to use the four quadrants of time. Also affects the sorting, the principles of which are set too.
- purpose. Year, month, week. It helps in planning and achieving life goals and to implement the system 12 weeks of the year.
- task Kind (folder project). Any task can be a folder or project. Note: Tasks can have subtasks at any level of investment and prioritization perform subtasks without assigning them to the properties of a folder or project.
- Hide branch in the To-Do. Any branch (a folder, a project task with subtasks) can be hidden to show in the To-Do list, but any user-created this list, you can set the property display hidden tasks. Why hide? This is a useful function for folders such as "maybe / someday", a query or a life-planning structure.
- The note. He needs no introduction. It is necessary to say that, when we create a problem by sending letters to the special address, subject line becomes the name of the task and content - notes.
- repetition. Repetition of tasks after a certain period of time, but with additional settings: Reset subtasks on the completed tasks through repetition and automatic repetition of the problem at the end of its subtasks.
- An effort. It is important when you need to understand about, the percentage made project. But different tasks to advance the project to the target at a different "distance". Here and useful task this property.
- It takes time. When you fall out free for 15 minutes, filter required for run-time tasks are very simple and quick help to accept decision.
- Overview. MyLifeOrganized application has a special tab "Overview", which lists the tasks, if they assign this property to a certain frequency.
- depending on. Not always all the objectives of the project are in strict sequence. You can create a task block with successive sub-tasks, and it allows MyLifeOrganized. But what if the dependent tasks are in different projects? For this is the property of "dependence". In addition, we can make some logical problems with the condition that it is necessary to perform all or any of the dependent task to start.
As you can see, huge adjustments. But now it's time to figure out how to understand in all of this.
Forms and Filters
All who practice the GTD system and uses computer organizers, know that the main thing that you need from such software, - the ability to provide the user with a list of tasks on certain conditions. Ideally, everything should be fast and easy.
Default MyLifeOrganized offers a lot of ready-made forms for various properties of tasks. But the user is free to create a new species or even their group and configure each as he pleases, on any property of the problem described above. To do this, tap on the "Ed." In the lower left corner, and then on the "Ext. view":
Then you need to select the group that will own view, the name of the species and the conditions for filtering. For one species can be created as a separate condition, and a group with an indication of the logical relationship between them (and, or), as well as the parameter, if all the conditions must be met, or only one.
For example, you have a situation often happens when the workplace between meetings have 15 minutes of free time, but you do not want them to take up tasks that require a lot of effort. Then you create a filter through which to view "15 minutes" get tasks from the folder "Work" to the duration of the implementation is not more than 15 minutes and minimal effort.
Here is a partial list of properties for a task for which you can make the necessary form

As can be seen even from the incomplete list, you will not be able to come up with such a filter, which MyLifeOrganized application does not overpower.
calendar view
But apart from views and filters, for planning and decision-making there is a calendar view, which will help to understand the daily workload, see the necessary meetings and deadlines.
Displaying the calendar type is also customizable.
For example, I set up a calendar view so that it displays data from calendar "Always" (meeting people, and all that is meaningless after the deadline), and "Investments" (according to a new look at life balance).
Future plans
The developers of this wonderful application is not going to be complacent and are constantly working to improve and enhance their product. In the near future it is planned to combine the application for smartphones and tablets into one. Also here will enter the app for Apple Watch. It is developing the fifth version of Windows and on the way of application development start for the Mac.
At the moment I am as one of the honorary testers try new features future updates for the iPhone:
- counters. Very handy customizable feature that allows you to see how many tasks remaining for each species. Status of available tasks: everything Incomplete, Completed, initiated overdue (figures counter of a different color, which depends on the state of the problem). For each type may be displayed simultaneously two states of the tasks in any combination, taking into account only nested or root.
- sentence analysis. MLO can analyze text that the user enters, and convert it to a date, time, or other properties of the problem. For example: Pozvonit Vase tomorrow 15:10; Oksana ask after 3 days; report Alexey recalled through 2 chasa context Office.
Convince yourself that the MLO - best computer organizer for any system of life organization
Of course, in this article I will not describe everything that can MyLifeOrganized. I did not touch the basic features that should be in any computer organizer, and only that distinguishes it from the others and leaves its competitors far behind.
However, you can see for yourself. I propose the following plan:
- You download and install MyLifeOrganized on all devices (45 days trial with all Pro-Version features).
- Use 10 days to realize the full power of the application.
- Leave a review in the App Store and get a one-month cloud-based synchronization.
- Use another 30 days during which the final decision.
Everything is available and free of charge. There is only one catch in all this: after 45 days of communication with MyLifeOrganized you already will be difficult to use the other organizers.
Ready to make your life better planning - it's nice, and activities - productive? Believe me, it's worth it.
