Time is precious, spend it working on the most important things... There are a million to-do lists and task managers in the App Store. PriorityWise is unique and better than others in many ways. Read on to find out how. • PriorityWise is designed to allow you to define areas of your life that are important to you and then track how often you are working on improving those areas. • In addition to simple to-do lists, PriorityWise also tracks your progress on the kinds of goals that are longer-term, such as "Raising good kids" or "Advancing your career". • You can record when you complete an item, but you can also record whenever you work on an item. Using this information, PriorityWise shows you what areas or projects you are working on the most, which ones you may be neglecting, and how long it has been since you have worked on items in any category. • You can easily set priorities and then continually see how your efforts are stacking up to those priorities. • You can create a simple to-do list, or you can create a hierarchy of items that contain sub-items which can themselves contain sub-items, etc. Make your lists as simple or as detailed as you choose. ________________________________ People often have a tendency to spend the most effort working on things that are the least important. PriorityWise is designed to help reverse that tendency and get your life moving in the right direction "priority wise". ________________________________
