“Organize your tasks with a very detailed list manager”

by Nick Mead

One thing there's never too much of in my opinion is organisational software to help scattered brains keep their life in order.

Task Coach is a simple open source task manager which helps you manage personal and to-do tasks and lists in an easy to use and intuitive way. The developer claims that Task Coach grew out of his frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. The point being, tasks and to-do lists consist of several activities and most organizers only allow for one entry.

Task Coach enables you to create, edit and delete tasks and sub tasks meaning it's much more easy to see where and why certain tasks have to be done as they link to one main, master task. Tasks in Task Coach can be labeled with a subject, description, priority, start date, due date, a completion date and an optional reminder. They can also be viewed as a list or as a tree and sorted by attributes, e.g. subject, budget, budget left, due date, etc. For those working to a time schedule, Task Coach also allow you to track time spent on certain jobs or tasks.

As useful as Task Coach is however, you can't help feeling you spend more time tinkering and fiddling with the number of fields to fill in in Task Coach than anything else.

As far as easy to use task schedulers go Task Coach is one of the more user friendly and intelligent out there although maybe it's a little over the top for most people's needs.
