I’d downloaded Essential PIM years ago, but never really used it. It was a bigger program than what I needed at the time. That was then, this is now. Back then, I did very little organizing on the computer– I didn’t even sign on every day! Today, my laptop has become my most favored accessory. And I just can’t carry and keep track of all the differrent notebooks, sticky-notes, and other pieces of paper. So I downloaded Essential PIM again, and WOW I love it! C|Net offers the download and information here.

At first glance, it seems complicated. There are a lot of various views, and choices. It seemed overwhelming to me. But after I deleted the “sample” entries, it looked better.

This is basically a scheduling calendar, appointment notebook, to do list, contact/address book, and quick notebook, all rolled into one.

It’s FREE (my favorite price!), so there’s nothing to lose. I think whoever built this did a great job putting it together. It also saves your data automatically and will minimize to the system tray in case you need to access it quickly. I’m pretty floored by the program. It’s been working great for me. So I recommend it.
