Well, I decided to “test’ out some programs with a GTD-inspired task management structure that I would like to create. Starting with a trusty sheet of blank white paper, I laid out much of what I wanted to manage and track, and how I wanted to do so. I must confess, it took almost no time to set up in Ecco exactly as I had envisioned it would look. Easy data entry, and very easy “views”, with output exactly as I desired. I wanted to adapt this layout to EverNote, but with my limited experience, I could not find a way to “fit” my paper model to the program. I will try MyInfo later this weekend, but I spent the evening trying to get a better understanding of UR 3.1.1. I can see why Ecco users might feel a bit at home in UR. For this specific task management project I am using for a test, UR is the same as Ecco, but different! UR’s search functions remind me a bit of views in Ecco’s notepads. At present, its certainly easier for me to set this up in Ecco, and Ecco’s calendar is, in my opinion, vastly superior to UR’s. But, I can see that with a bit of training, UR could offer me a good alternative to Ecco. I think MyInfo lies somewhere in the middle. I like user defined columns, and I like having categories and/or flags because they are quick and easy to use. I might consider do-Organizer, but I still do not think that there is a more well balanced program than Ecco. If I could only take one piece of software with me in life, it would probably be Ecco. But, I am an old dog that likes to learn new tricks.
