RightNote

What is RightNote and how can it help you?

Here's a quick explanation: We all have to deal with bits and pieces of information on a daily basis: phone numbers of contacts, passwords, to-do lists, webpage snippets, research papers, accounting information, browser bookmarks, source code snippets etc..etc.. How do you deal with it all?

If you write things down on little pieces of paper or store this information in different files scattered on your computer, it wont be long before you run into the following problems: (1) It's a (huge) bother trying to find something when you need to, having to sift through loads of information,
(2) it's hard to backup your important information (since it is not stored in a single place) and
(3) it's hard to protect sensitive information (e.g. credit card details).

RightNote solves all these problems by allowing you to store all your information in a single place, find things ultra fast with full text search and highlighted search results, and protect sensitive information by putting a lock on selected notes. RightNote includes different types of notes to store different types of information. There's a word processing note for textual information, a spreadsheet note for accounting info or any type of list, and a source code note for source code snippets. All notes are stored in a hierarchical tree outline and can easily be moved around and re-organized at a later point.

These planning tools from Franklin Covey are built around helping you get the real "first things," the important projects in your life, done first, and on a daily basis.

Forms Wizard

Simplify your Planning experience with software designed to print all the forms you need to stay organized. Just populate the forms with your information and, voila, they're ready to print and fit in FranklinCovey Monarch, Classic, Compact, Pocket, or international size (A5) binders.

The Action Machine is built completely around the timeboxing concept, so it works because it's simple to understand and use, and it ties together the three key motivating elements that push your brain to take action (we talked about these earlier):

1. It turns your daily actions/tasks into doable mini-goals
2. It allows you to quickly and easily assign each mini-goal a specific timeframe or deadline (fuel for motivation)
3. It shows you the BIG picture of your day with a level of clarity that helps you believe you can get it all done

When these three elements are brought together in the dynamic, automated environment of The Action Machine, the synergy totally transforms the way you psychologically and emotionally look at all the things you have to do.
