Life Balance is coaching software that provides a dynamically ordered To Do List driven by the importance of your goals, your desired allocation of time and effort, and feedback from what you get done each day.

Some of the benefits of using Life Balance that set it apart from most to-do list software are:

  • The Outline keeps home, work and leisure tasks organized.
  • To Do List automatically sorts and filters tasks by importance, deadlines and location.
  • Pie charts provide immediate visual feedback on how you are spending your time and effort.
  • screen shot of pie chartsUnique "balance" feature adjusts the order of the To Do List to keep you on track.
  • Dependencies keep later tasks off your To Do List until earlier required tasks are finished.
  • Lead times gently bring your attention to approaching deadlines.
  • Routine tasks can be scheduled either as calendar events or by flexible interval.
  • Importance settings make it easy to reprioritize tasks or entire projects quickly.
  • Macintosh and Windows conduits provide complete two-way synchronization between the Desktop and Mobile editions.

Professional Reviews and Awards

Life Balance helps you to set priorities and increase personal productivity in a new way. Items on a to-do list can have a high priority for different reasons: because they are part of an important project, because the deadline is near-at-hand, because you are in the right place to take action, or because you have been neglecting the task.

Internally, Life Balance uses fuzzy logic math techniques to balance all these competing factors. As a result, it can provide you with an easy to use, sorted list that makes it simple to choose the most important thing that you can do right here, right now.

This installer includes Life Balance for Windows, Life Balance for Palm OS, the Windows HotSync conduit, and complete PDF documentation. You can plan and strategize on the desktop where data entry is easier, and then deploy and update your plans using the mobile edition.
