P.P.S.IOrgsoft TOD Video Converter- TOD Converter 4. Oh - apologies to Windows-only users this app is pretty much only for the Apple platform. I absolutely love that I can once again revisit this methodology that I was so fond of, and am quite convinced that it will become a very dear friend, again. I've been using it all week, and it's been great. In addition, I installed the iOS versions on my iPhone and iPad - everything syncs automagically, and the UIs are wonderful. Lo and behold! There it all was, and in a beautiful user interface emulating the old paper planners! I was thrilled, not to mention a little rusty on all the mechanics of the methodology (I might have to dig up the books, again!). I immediately downloaded it and signed up for the 7-day trial. It was a recently updated app, and the description mentioned all the Covey keywords! Recently, as I was scrolling through the app store (can't remember what I was looking for), I came across something called "Opus One", by the same developer, and with a very similar icon. I kept looking at it over the past few years, hoping it had been updated, but it never was. Too bad, since it seemed to be aligned with the Covey methodology. But by the time I found this app, it was already quite outdated and there didn't seem to be any more updates. Then, one day, I came across an app on my Mac: Opus Domini. Then GTD was all the craze, but after all the Covey things, I just never got into it, so I satisfied myself with simple task lists organized into categories. But it didn't last I wasn't keen on carrying that stuff around. Reluctantly, I went back to pen & paper, thinking perhaps it'd be "old school", a somewhat romantic notion. For a while FranklinPlanner had a plugin for Outlook that did the job very well, but then they discontinued it. Robotics PalmPilot? How revolutionary was that?) and I then also wanted this mystical "sync' capability. Then came "PDAs" (anyone remember getting their first U.S. However, as I was, at the time, also being drawn into the world of IT, I became less enthralled with paper planners and wished for something electronic. Fair enough - Franklin knew a thing or two about planners. Then Franklin Planners purchased a lot of the Covey material, and it became FranklinCovey. Missions and Visions, Goals, Weekly Compass, Roles, the Eisenhower Matrix, daily planning and prioritizing - I loved it all and became quite fond of the methodology. I also read his follow-up, "First Things First". "Habit 3: Put First Things First" introduced me to the concept of time management. There are so many valuable lessons in that book, still very relevant today. I read it a few times over the years, of course even listened to Stephen Covey audio recordings of him teaching it. It was a game-changer for me in my mid-twenties, my first thought was, "OMG! Why don't they teach this stuff in high school?!" I imagine one or two of you might have, as well? Many, many moons ago, when I was a young man, I read Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.
