Overcoming Overload?
3/18/2015
As Chris and Hugh point out, "decision-making overhead" was a core cause of my lack of productivity, and this is alleviated using Watership Planner. I get to work and simply start with the tasks that...
Overcoming Overload?
3/13/2015
Hi, I'd like to add my experience to this thread as I have been dealing the the same issues. Both work and family life have been stressful, and I've found it hard to focus and prioritize. However, I c...

Hi, its been ages since I posted!
Anyway, there is a neat project planning tool on sale today for $20. It can give a much better overview of a project than a Gantt chart, for example.
I purchased ba...
What happened to Storybook?
3/4/2014
Hi, many thanks for continuing the project! I was a bit confused about how open source vs. licensed (Pro) version worked for Storybook. I was happy to support it, but now that it has gone under, it i...
What happened to Storybook?
10/23/2013
Hi, I haven't had any time to post lately. However, just before this topic started, I happened to visit the Storybook website to see if any new development was taking place. A message said that the we...
Hi, I'm a little late to this topic.
I was in the same situation as you about 1.5 years ago, and I chose Ultra Recall. It has served me well, and I have customized it to no end.
Having said that, ...
Hi, I just wanted to mention that installed the giveaway of Zero Click Spellchecker. It works quite well, but only corrects "suspect misspellings", so some things get through it. It definitely saves ...
Zoot???
3/11/2013
I am glad Zoot XT came up again, because I am very close to converting to it from Ultra Recall. It appears to be extremely powerful and customizable, albeit with a learning curve. My needs include so...
Hi Jim,
Just to ask, how does one go about this in Ultra Recall? I tried the usual methods, and can't seem to get it to work or find it in the help file.
Thanks in advance!
Best, /Pavi

Hi, I left a detailed review of their previous pen, the Echo. I just wanted to make a few comments:
I tried using a capacitive pen with my Nexus 7 for notetaking. It is not quite there, although a t...
Hi, as a person who recommends UltraRecall, I have to point out that what Daly and Alexander mention are absolutely correct. For inexplicable reasons, the developer not only does not roll out new fea...
New User - Old Questions
7/7/2012
Hi Donovan,
I am a user of UltraRecall, due to its flexibility. There are indeed some considerations, like a learning curve and sketchy web import at times, but overall it is a solid tool.
So I am ...
myBase 6.08 now available
7/7/2012
Hi Cassius,
Well, it was not my intention to disparage Mybase. On the contrary, I liked it a lot and it was the first PIM that showed me the what is possible in terms of data collection and organiza...
myBase 6.08 now available
7/6/2012
It's on Bitsdujour today. I formerly used v5.5.1, and really like many aspects, especially the easy file attachment with amazing compression. When I tried v6 found some things had regressed: http://w...
ULTRA RECALL!! It does everything you require perfectly.
Just to expand on the other replies, in UR you can:
- Drag and drop office files, pictures, email (Outlook, etc.), rtf, etc. to the tree. Th...
Jot Plus Notes -- moribund

Referring to what Cassius suggests, using a PIM to catalog file and folders, this is precisely what I do with Ultra Recall (among many other things). You can have individual files or folders either a...
Using a PIM to catalog files and folders
6/15/2012
Dr. Andus,
Thank you for the detailed information! My main "problem" is breaking from traditional thinking, which for me mean means hierarchical trees and having all data in one place. Also, my need...
Using a PIM to catalog files and folders
6/14/2012
Dr. Andus,
Thanks for the detailed replies. I am really amazed with the power of Connectedtext as you describe it. I have demoing recently - the ability to drag a page, topic or category from any op...
Using a PIM to catalog files and folders
6/13/2012
Hi Andus,
I am looking into ConnectedText (again!). Is it possible to auto-update the list of files in each folder? By this I mean will new files be visible in a given folder if dropped in after fol...
Storybook Pro 4.0 is out
6/13/2012
Hi, I think Martin has added a lot of good features here. Just to point out, two of them were suggested by yours truly (although possibly others), those being "Informative scenes" and "Dates not requ...
New UltraRecall version released
6/11/2012
Hi, as a huge fan of UR, even I am disappointed with this. I think the main problem is the lack of development, which simply doesn't work with "new version" upgrades.
What I mean is, suppose Kinook...
Hi, just to mention that you can do this in Ultra Recall very easily.
1) In explorer, Drag and drop main folder of interest into a node. All subfolders, files, etc. are preserved.
2) Drag and drop O...
Watership Planner
5/24/2012
Hi,
It seems I misread the mail. He stated that there are two ways to solve this, which could then be implemented. He also said the reason for not syncing tasks is due to mismatches in the fields us...
Watership Planner

Hi, I just looked at Watership planner after seeing the post on vertical monitor orientation. I didn't expect such a polished, functional solution... WOW!
The developer has rewritten the interface s...
Chapter by chapter rules!
5/9/2012
Well, for me using a writing environment (in my case Word files embedded into Ultra Recall) helps to break down the content into manageable pieces. This is especially useful for "episode style" writi...
