How do I use LeaderTask in my everyday life?

Business

New projects
Creating and developing a new project requires attention and
preciseness. There are no trifles in it. Any detail may turn into a
drawback and a drawback may be fatal for the project. New trends
appearing regularly are a peculiarity of my job. Something is dropped
later, something turns into working schemes. Any project starts from
creating a scheme. A scheme is a mind map. (I will not dwell on the
convenience and techniques of using mind maps in this article, if you
get interested, you can always find more information on the Internet.)
A ready mind map is easily entered into LT with its tree-like
structure of tasks. Then you only have to determine specific deadlines
and assign responsible persons. Determine checkpoints. (A checkpoint
is a point on a timeline corresponding to the time when the progress
is checked in this or that project. The current progress of the
project is checked, which makes it possible to track the dynamics and
make amendments, if necessary.) After that you can use the obtained
information to make a decision what to do next: - continue it; - stop
it; - modify the direction of the project.

Development program implementation
Any enterprise has a program of its strategic development. It includes
searching for new partners, enlarging the assortment of products,
finding new markets and so on and so forth. Of course, every
enterprise has its trends and priorities. However, there is a certain
sequence of actions that should be followed by particular people in
order to implement this program. That is when an organizer comes in -
it is LT in my case, of course. It helps to monitor the market and
thus get up-to-date information about it. Not to miss meetings with
clients and partners. Plan and monitor the implementation of plans.

Advertising
Advertising a company is a complicated and long process. It already
starts when you just decide to create this or that structure. Choosing
a name is the starting point. Quite a lot might be said about the name
and how it affects business, but we are here for a different thing. It
is enough just to understand that advertising starts at the very
moment when the business emerges. Then the main advertising formula
comes in: AIDA. Those who are in the advertising industry know what
I'm saying :) and I recommend that the rest of you who are interested
search for more information because I will not explain it better than
professionals while the understanding of this formula may dramatically
change your view on advertising. Advertising is a complex and
multipronged project and this project is quite dynamic. If you delay
anything in its implementation, it seriously affects the sales
statistics (that is, profit). Organizing and planning an advertising
campaign for a company is an eternal and constantly changing project,
being one of the most key ones as well. The way LT is used in
advertising is not basically different from the way it is used in
implementing the development program.

Sales
Using LT for sales purposes is a bit different from the above. In this
case it comes down mainly to monitoring the supply deadlines and the
terms of agreements in order to extend or re-sign them in time. Kind
of a advanced reminder, BUT do not forget that after I left this issue
to LT, I freed my mind and time for something else and at the same
time I do not lose clients and keep up with shipment deadlines.
Besides, I have an idea to link sales to production, i.e. plan
production and supplies for it according to processed orders, but this
scheme is in the state of development and testing yet.

Home

Payments
It is one of the primary home tasks for LT - monitor payments. Paying
for public utilities, intercom, insurance. All in all, everything that
is to be paid for goes through LT. It allows you not to remember what
and when you should pay. In fact, it is an indispensable assistant in
your everyday routine.

Credit
Credit is actually a payment that is stretched in time. However, it is
different from other payments because you will suffer worse
consequences if the payment is overdue no matter whether for you
personally or for your business. By the way, I do not deal with lease
and credit payments myself at work, but I have them all marked and I
do not forget to remind the CEO to make sure everything is alright
with them. Anyone may have sudden "sclerosis", someone may fall ill,
someone may have force majeure at home, but the business must not
suffer from it.

Purchases
Purchases are different. LT allows me to save money! :) How? Well, as
most people out there, after I get my salary, I go shopping in search
of essentials, however, "store - money - no shopping list"  is a great
combination, BUT for the store, not for you. When you come home after
this kind of shopping, you find lots of things in your bags, BUT you
have forgotten to buy feed for your favorite cat and bought another
tie, a "nice" addition to those that are already in your closet. After
another situation like this, I used ALEXA's advice about the dictating
machine. I recorded everything that came to my mind about purchases
and then I easily added to the list what I actually needed (by the
way, I liked the method so much that now I can barely imagine what I
would do without the dictating machine and my employees notice that my
memory is now much better. Now once I receive my salary, I first start
LT and look through what I'm going to buy and the printer prints me
this list in 5 seconds. The list with nothing unnecessary in it and
nothing essential left out. As a result, I optimize my expenses. (I
thought about suppliers while I was writing this... it feels like they
are going to get reorganized. ;) ).

Duties
All those home duties... well, that's easy. Wash my wife, refuel my
son and buy something for my car's birthday. Oh my God!!! There are
always so many of those duties that you are sure to confuse or forget
something and what about business, social activities and things to
deal with in court... Anyway, I could go on and on about it, but I
think you know it all without me. So, it our favorite LT that is to
deal with these heaps of duties. As a result, nothing is neglected or
forgotten, everything is done quickly and in no rush. The car tank is
full, the son is clean and the wife is happy. :)

Vacation
It is my first vacation planned with the help of such methods. I
cannot share my vacation experience with you so far because it's only
ahead, BUT I guess I will not forget anything. We will visit as many
beautiful sights as we wish (the list of possible sights is compiled
and combined by two parameters. The opinions of those who have been
there and the geographical location.) I hope the trip will be just fine.

How does LeaderTask help me?

Never forget
Memory is a wonderful thing, you can remember every detail of what
they showed on television 30 years ago because you had just then
bought a new color television set (it was a big event back in the
days)... and completely forget what was SO IMPORTANT that the director
general told you a minute ago. That is why I really appreciate the
ability to remember and not to forget anything under any
circumstances. I don't even mention that a timely reminder can be
simply invaluable.

Keep everything in order
Order. I do not think I have to explain what order is and how
important it is. And I think order in one's activities leads life to
success and the person to self-realization. You have to have a clear
idea about your activities in order to effectively control them. WHAT?
WHERE? WHEN? Here are three questions that keep our activities in
order. But it is not enough to know the answers, you have to combine
different activities from different projects throughout the day and
that's when LT becomes an indispensable assistant. A well thought-out
sequence of actions allows you to simultaneously manage several
projects or trends without losing the quality of control. LT allows
you to remember everything and precisely define the priority of this
or that action having your finger on the pulse of what is going on.

Closely follow the sequence
There are actions in life that must go one after another. For example,
developing a business plan requires a completely precise set of
actions performed in a certain sequence. Breaking the sequence often
results in having to go back in order to complete something or even
revise all actions that follow.

Why is my life better now?

More spare time
Time is the only irreplaceable resource in our lives that is always
trying to sneak so that we do not notice it among the routine of
everyday activities. Irreplaceable means invaluable for me. That is
why I try to complete as much as possible within every single minute.
Life is short, but you want to complete, see, try and experience so
much. LT helps to save time and spend it sensibly. It serves as a kind
of "routine vise" that compresses it, or rather the time spent on
them. Of course, you do not have more time, but it allows you to
complete more during this short life.

More efficient work
The word EFFICIENCY means a lot for people who value time. It
determines a lot in their lives, it regulates lives taking control
over them. What is efficiency?
Economic efficiency is a key consideration when you make a decision
about production. In simple words, efficiency means that manufacturing
is carried out with minimum expenses, effort and losses. Economists
use a more precise definition. The term of economic efficiency means
such a situation when it is impossible to make a single change that
would make one person better off without making another person worse
off. Efficiency defined in theses terms is sometimes called Pareto
efficiency after Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist.
Personal efficacy or self-efficacy means belief in the effect of one's
own actions and the belief that you have the capability to attain your
goals. It is one of the key terms in the social cognitive theory of
Albert Bandura. The overall self-efficacy consists of particular
self-efficacies existing in various fields of human activity. In some
of its research Bandura showed that one more cause of changes in
behavior may be the absence of belief in the efficacy of one's own
efforts. This discovery of Bandura is often referred to as the
self-efficacy theory. Self-efficacy or self-efficacy belief means that
a person is sure that he will be able to behave successfully in a
complicated situation. That is, efficacy belief means the evaluations
of one's very specifically defined behavioral competence. (There is a
very interesting article in Wiki about self-efficacy at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-efficacy. I took the definitions of
efficiency and efficacy from Wiki.)
I think these definitions quite precisely reflect the essence of how
my life has improved with LT.

Project implementation time
The increase in efficiency naturally speeds up the implementation of
projects and plans. Planning and the precise and objective assessment
of the situation allow me to correctly distribute my resources and my
staff's resources to achieve the maximum productivity.

Control over situation
I have never had my activities in such an order and visualization. It
is really great that you may forget about anything you have planned
until the due time and you do not have to worry about missing the
moment at all. Any project is clearly visible by both time and people.
It is easy to track personal responsibility. Visualization allows you
to optimize the situation and correctly distribute resources. All that
allows you to feel confident and persistently pursue your goals.

What have I achieved?

Creating a company
Creating a new company, structure or department is a very tense period
of time, but on the other hand it is just the tip of the iceberg of
information that you have to process before you come down to taking
action. As to actions, they have to follow a clear and ordered plan.
All that is quite a tense work and involves several parallel
processes. I'm glad that all that is already behind and that my
estimates were pretty accurate and now we are where we planned to be.

Organizing the production
I will never forget it. Probably because I had never come across
organizing production before that. God, that' whole lot of thing. The
project was growing as an avalanche and sometimes it seemed like this
avalanche would bury us under the abundance of what was to be done,
but anyway, as they say, "you may fear it, but still do it". I have to
say that the resolute position of the director general was of great
help. In case of any doubts he would only say, "I'm sure you will cope
with it!" – and we did cope. I don't even know if I'll ever dare to go
through it again. And to be honest, if I had known what it was, I
would have gotten myself into it.

Implementing the marketing policy
The decision to change the marketing policy was not an easy one to
make. Indeed, why would you change anything that works well? But the
request to increase profitability led to enlarging the assortment of
products and changes in the target audience, which, in its turn,
resulted in rebranding and completely revising the marketing policy of
the company. It was the first time I was into rebranding, but since
the promotion of a company does not differ much from rebranding, there
was almost nothing new for me in it.

Good advertising campaign
Pushing a new product onto the market is always an interesting and
important moment. As a rule, a good start is a good advertising
campaign. And you can tell how well the campaign is only after you
evaluate the decrease in sales after it is over. There is always a
decrease, but it varies a lot and everything depends on the success of
the advertising campaign and, in my opinion, on how accurately you
reached your target audience.

What did LeaderTask change in my life?

Attitude to time

I realized that you can effectively manage your time
I had tried to make plans many times before that. I used to make use
of phones with their poor imitation of an organizer, thick diaries and
software products of this type. So why hadn't my attitude to time
changed before I started using LT? First, none of the previously used
solutions (to make it clear, I have never used Outlook from Microsoft)
provided this kind of visual representation of the situation. Of
course, visualization makes it much easier to perceive things and,
consequently, manage them more effectively. Second, it is through the
LT forum that I discovered time management, which resulted in revising
a lot of things first at work and then at home. Step by step, I
started to realize how much time I had been just wasting on
unnecessary things. The pace of work changed, no more rush and it
occurs to me that it has been two months already since we forgot
anything and had to do it in a hurry. And it is all despite the fact
that there has been quite a lot of events in the recent month. Time is
no longer our enemy we have to fight against, now at last I am in
control of my time.

Business relations

Top management attitude
I don't think I have to explain anyone the management attitude towards
an employee who does not forget anything, does all current work in
time and is efficient in all fields he deals with. What I would like
to explain is that I'm neither a genius nor a workaholic, I like days
off and holidays the same as you. It is just that I realized once that
life could be different and LT offered me a great help in this
realization by allowing me to turn my ideas into actual activities.

Subordinates' attitude
We are all PEOPLE, we are all subordinates and chiefs and we all
differentiate between good and bad chiefs. A good chief for me is an
objective one. He has to understand, help, ask about the results. He
has to both award and punish. A chief has to be both an inspirer and
an idea accumulator. He stimulates activity, my activity. How? With a
good word, useful advice, a penalty or an award. He helps me to grow,
he both guards me and makes me go all out changing my self-esteem. I
was lucky to have a REALLY GOOD CHIEF so now I have a role model. I
try to be a good chief as far as I understand it. I try to stick to
one basic principle suggested by a person who I really respect: "You
should be kind, but you must not be soft-hearted". A lot has changed
after I realized the difference. I think you have to ask my
subordinates about how they feel about me. I can only point out that
almost everyone who worked for more than 6 months with me maintain a
good relationship with me even after they quit, we call each other and
meet. One of my current partners used to be my subordinate and that's
what she said after she got some good luck and received a certain sum
of money, "I did not even think what to do, just found your number".
You just have to remember that a chief who does not know what his
subordinates do cannot be a good chief. And here LT comes in again
with its perfect list of who is doing what. It turns meetings with
subordinates into very constructive communication. In its turn, it
leads to personal growth and efficiency.

How more efficient have I become?

More efficient, much more

Now I have time for self-development
Now I have time that I have lacked for the last 4 years. Now I can
read books not only on economics, but just books, classic books. Now I
have time to go in for sport. No more rush in my life, now I feel
confident and safe. I'm no longer afraid to forget anything. So many
changes have come for this month and a half.

Many things that seemed to be delayed forever are now in progress
I think that anyone has such things in life that are left in a closet
for some future because there is never time to spend on them. I used
to have this kind of closet. But on some nice day I realized that it
was the day when I could afford it. I can afford to spend my time on
it without being afraid that it will negatively affect my business.
How do I feel about it? It is like a long-awaited meeting with an old
friend.

I have set up several projects I need to manage.  The calendar view
for a month (which I set up manually as a "period") shows all of the
tasks for all of the projects in the period, but they all appear in
the same color and font, etc., so that the relevant project cannot be
distinguished at a glance -- even though LeaderTask automatically
assigns colors to each project as it is created.

Is there any way for the tasks to show in the calendar view in the
color of the related project?  If not, what't the purpose of the
program's assigning colors to projects?  (I know I can filter on a
project-by-project basis, but that doesn't solve my needs.)

Thanks.

I am a bit stupid about this sort of thing. How do you run it off a
flash disc? Literally, step by step, how do you set it up so it does
that? I would like to do it. Thank you.

The basic step in implementing total quality management is to judge the
organization's present reality. Organization's history, current
requirements, existing employee quality of working life...

Welcome to Time Management Community: www.todoforum.com !!!

Organizing the time of a modern businessperson

Money rules the world. It is the essence of the entire life of a
businessperson.

Money depends a lot on time as such. The more rationally you spend
time, the more profit (short-term or long-term) you get. This concept
is described in the old saying "Time is money".

Let's not waste time sorting out a huge heap of notes with scheduled
tasks or just thoughts and plans. That's the lot of a secretary whose
qualification is not very high. And YOU are a businessperson who makes
money. And you are interested in making your plans in the most
comfortable and effective way.

Thus we get the following factors important for a businessperson:

Planning
Saving time
Convenience
Mobility
These factors are closely interrelated and influence each other. They
are split apart only for conventional purposes.

Planning

Planning is the most important part in organizing any business, that's
what it all starts with. Planning allows you to choose the most
rational and effective methods of attaining your goals. This is a tool
for controlling and managing your business.

That's where the LeaderTask software organizer will be of much help.
It is a smart system for managing projects, events, tasks, etc.

With LeaderTask, it is very convenient to group different kinds of
activities by categories. For example, "Web development", "Testing".
You can create a task for each type of activity specifying deadlines
for its solution and the people who are responsible for it
("Contacts"). This way you can build the entire chain of scheduled
tasks in a visual form.

The "Calendar" tab is a convenient tool for monitoring both current
and future tasks. It is possible to configure the so-called floating
periods: the list of tasks for "today", "tomorrow". As well as strict
monthly or quarterly schedule periods. Everyone can select the variant
that suits them best.

The flexibility and convenience of the planning process comes down to
the fact that the person in charge knows what each employee is busy
with at the moment and what there is on the employee's to-do list. It
is possible to get summary information for each project: contacts,
expenses, deadlines, etc.

Saving time

The software solution you have before you is an effective tool for
planning your tasks. Other things do not distract your attention and
you spend your time rationally. Rationally means economically.

There are only 24 hours in a day and all efforts must be directed
towards the solution of particular tasks. No need to bear everything
in mind because this is fraught with forgetfulness and it can lead to
emergency situations.

When the entire list of tasks is before your eyes, you are busy with
particular tasks without paying your attention to unimportant things
and thus saving your time.

Convenience

Convenience influences how fast you can plan and solve all business
issues. The efficiency of a tool depends on how convenient it is.

LeaderTask is always at hand. If you are in office, the computer is on
your desk and you can open the organizer with a hotkey combination. If
you are going to have a ride around the city, a printout with
scheduled tasks will be a perfect reminder that will not let you
forget anything.

Mobility

Businesspeople need it as badly as their breath. Progress never stops
and so communications technologies provide you with everything you
need. If you are on a long trip, you can open your laptop computer and
LeaderTask is at hand.

Mechanisms used in this organizer allow you to store all data in one
place. And you can move it to other computers without any problems.
All necessary information will be within your reach.

Summary

Dear user, you have the most convenient tool for business planning at
your disposal. It helps businesspeople effectively organize their time
increasing the efficiency of their business. LeaderTask reduces all
routine and fuss in your activities to minimum. Having a clear and
detailed view of your activities, you will see all goals and
prospects. And nothing will stand in your way towards them.

Hi
has anyone managed to create recurring tasks?  Its mentioned in the
help file, but I can't find it anywhere!
We have a small insect museum and this would be a nice piece of
software to manage our various (recurring) tasks such as feeding,
cleaning etc.

Hey, as for time of task, you can just drag the task around in a day
view or week view to the time you want. I am able to get this to work
fine but I am interested in the appointment function...I don't want to
have to manually enter in everything (although the paste button would
surely come in handy !) I have quite a few repeating events.

I experimented with the program for a while, and I hope this helps. In
reply to a previous question, I know I am not confusing month view
with appointments :) I got the month view fine, but no appointments,
so if anyone figure that out, please share!

To get a month view:

1. Make sure to select "Calendar" in the left panel (the navigator)
2. Go to Edit --> Navigator --> New Period
3. A "Period Properties" should appear. Give it a title ie This Month,
assign to a group or not and give it a different color or not

4. Under type, select "Periodic"
5. Type in 31 for amount of days
6. Leave offset days at 0
7. In start date, select the first day of any month (for instance
November 1st, 2007)
8. In End date, select the last day of any month, for instance
(November 30th, 2007)
9. Click OK and now you have specified the month view.
10. To get the month view, click on "Calendar" tab at the bottom of
the program screen, next to the "Task" tab. Now you should see a view
of the current month.

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask and
I'll try to get back to you.

Not certain what feature you are asking about... let me try to
restate... In looking at your link/screen shots and my registered
version of the software and the company web site.... It sounds like
you can't see or get the 'calendar view' (tab?)to work.  The most
you can see is the 'Task view' (tab?) which only get the the
granularity of the day... not day and time. (which most people would
feel is required for an effective appointment tracker.)
Unfortunately, I do not see the exact verbiage that mentions
the 'appointment option' is only in the 'full-blown version' of the
software... but I think I see enough to see where you are having a
problem.

I can say that on my registered version, I also do not see
the 'calendar or task tabs' that seem to be in the screen shot. I
only have a task view. (So it looks like I have the same problem as
you.)

Now this is not a 'showstopper' for me as I have an
appointment/calendar tool from the company and I needed a quick and
dirty tool to track commitments/projects/tasks, but most importantly
sub-tasks.... however, now that you have brought this to my
attention, it is sort of irksome... What strikes me a unusual is
that when you enter something like a task, it only gives you option
of a day.... not day and time. (which, as I said above, would be
needed for a true appointment tool) this is starting to have the
look/feel of vaporware.  (I wonder if anyone from the company
monitors this?) ... and provide direction.

This is what I would like to see....

1) I would like an option for a task to go 'up' in priority as it get
closer to the due date...
2) I would like to have an audit report to show what tasks may be
overdue
3) Would like have an option for a reoccurring task

It there anything out there that says what features the next version
is going to bring?

Like the program... bought the program... like to get rid of the
default data.

Hello,
I just downloaded the version from giveawayoftheday  and i am working
with the features and trying to still figure out how to properly work
with it. I am not aware of the appointment function -that is

There is a mention that only the registered version can do
appointments...but isn't the one offered at
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/leadertask/#more-2173 considered a
registered version? I can't find the appointment option. This is not
exactly a question but rather a comment I suppose.

This looks like a great program in the screen shots.  I also got the
program from: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/leadertask/#more-2173.

Given the lack of an instruction manual, I'm so glad that I did not
pay more for the program!

I got it from: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/leadertask/#more-2173

It does mention that there are no free technical support...but
still...the software could at least come with a help file that tells
how to do some basic things.

Thanks anyways for your help though.

Please use a new version LeaderTask 5.1:
http://www.leadertask.com/download/leader.exe

If there is any advice or further information you want we shall be
happy to supply it.

I did read the Help file. It only tells you what can be done but
unfortunately, skips the "How" part entirely. I figured out how to do
the month view but there are still a lot of questions. For instance, I
read on the website about appointments, but how do I create appointments?

Can someone explain how to get LeaderTask to show a month view? I am
confused about that. Thanks.

I liked the simple and elegant interface of the program. That is why I
purchased it. But once I started using LeaderTask, I was amazed by the
amount of time I used to spend on completely unnecessary things. The
result of using LeaderTask surpassed all my expectations and the
program turned out to be truly a 'must have'. The number of 'dead'
projects reduced to null! With LeaderTask, I started seeing clear aims
and scheduling my appointments and meetings thoroughly. Thanks to the
developers for such a useful product!
