I must confess that organization is not one of my skills. As a result, I've tried quite a few different tools to help me stay organized, including MS Project (which was overkill). Accomplice is, by far, my favorite, and here's why.
When I first open my laptop (about 5am), I open Accomplice and minimize it. Then throughout the day, as things come up that I need to schedule, or remember to do, I just move my cursor up to the top of my laptop's screen, and down pops a toolbar that allows me to rapidly add a new activity, with details like the date due, the urgency and appropriate notes, and save it to the main window of the program. Then, it vanishes until I need it again.
TIP: It's actually quicker to enter a new activity via the disappearing toolbar then in the application itself. I don't know if this is related to its beta status or not, but there's a definite difference in speediness with the toolbar.
When I want to check my to-do list, I just maximize Accomplice and I can see the status of each of my activities. It's very clean and very simple - my favorite kind of application.
The program has a small footprint so you can keep it minimized all day and not notice any impact on how the rest of your applications work. I still have more to learn about it, and I'll keep you posted on how things go. So far, though, Accomplice is a keeper.
