Daisho: Time Management Software for Professionals

Planning Perspective

Time Management Software: Planning Perspective

Set your Focus

Daisho_Context_Budget

Set the priority areas of your daily life by defining color-coded contexts and define the time you want to dedicate to a context with time budgets. Time budgets can be defined either on a full-weekly, work-weekly or monthly basis.

Daisho visualizes the planned time budgets in an intuiative chart. It's easy to see whether your high-level priorities correspond to the time you want to spend on them.
Reviewing your time allocation is must-have feature for a professional time management software.

Plan Your Week

Daisho_Week_Structure

To roughly plan and pre-structure your upcoming weeks, you can use the scheduling view.

You can allocate your time budgets to the days of a week. With the planned/scheduled chart you see immediately whether your current week plan fits your long-term time budgets.

Time Management Software: Integration is Key

The calendar is tightly integrated with the planning view. You can see context-based planning as color-coded markers in your calendar. This ensures you are always aware of the areas you planned to focus on at a given point in time, so you can align the activities of specific day with your long-term planning.

 

Of course, Daisho has all the features you expect from a professional time management software, and a few things beyond, e.g.

  • Repeat entries with exceptions
  • Whole-day events
  • Integration of your contact's birthdays (configurable by contact)
  • Configurable preparation and wrap-up (or travel) time around meetings
  • Import from and export to Outlook (requires granted access rights for Daisho)
  • vCal invitations

Tasks at a Glance

Task at a Glance

With Daisho, you see all your tasks at a glance: calls, to-do's or meetings. You can categorize them with the powerful filter mechanisms that are available, e.g. by project, due-date or context.

Tasks with a fixed start date are shown in the calendar.

No more Little Yellow Stickers

Daisho_no_more_stickies

To replace all the post-it notes you used to have all over your desk, Daisho has a quick note feature readily available: Shift-Ctrl-i as global short-cut, type out your note, hit Enter, done!

Later on, you can easily convert your quick notes to tasks, meetings or calls or just delete them when you don't need them anymore.

Outlook: Import and Export

Daisho_Outlook_Import

Besides contacts and emails (including sub-folders) you can import and export calendar entries to and from Outlook.

The import and export functionality requires a local installation of Outlook 2003 or higher and is only available for the Windows version of Daisho.

It is also required that Daisho is not blocked from accessing Outlook by a local security tool (Norton etc.). You will need to configure your security tool in this case.
