Achieve Planner is well on the road to becoming the best to do list manager on Windows. It is one of three programs that uses hierarchical assignment of priorities, and it is more comprehensive than the competition, as it provides extensively both for management at the task and the project levels.Unlike some competing products, the developer is not secretive about the algorithm it uses for computing priority, and the algorithm itself is configurable.
The developer is both a crack programmer and understands the principles and controversies in time management.

Some of you might who have looked at the Achieve Planner might have missed the current development spurt, as it is occurring in the beta version. The beta version can be downloaded without a license for the main product, but it isn’t conspicuous. To get the beta go to http://www.effexis.com/achieve/beta/achieve-planner-12-beta.htm. One major feature added by in the beta is the Task Chooser, which presents you with what you should be working on at the moment, based on the specied factors, using the prioritizing algorithm.

Achieve Planner already has the strongest outliner of any planner I’m aware of, but it will get considerably stronger yet. Hoisting is planned for one of the next following releases.

This program has contributed more to my productivity than any other planning vehicle I’ve used.
