Active Desktop Calendar Reviews

Active Desktop Calendar is a program that lives on my desktop and keeps me up-to-date on article status. When I first looked at it I knew it was going to be the perfect tool for me.

I have the editorial calendar here on Tucows planned out nearly 3 months in advance. I enter each article into Active Desktop Calendar and assign it an icon that tells me the status. Not written, or written and posted. The display overlays the right-hand side of my desktop and I can glance at it and quickly see what needs to be done.When an article is finished I change the icon to a check mark so I'll remember that it's done. Gives me an easy way to keep on top of things.

Active Desktop Calendar also lets me put in alarms and other to-do items. The program has lots of configurable options so you can make it your own. It can also interface with Microsoft Outlook and bring in things like appointments and such right to your desktop. You can also create multiple "layers" and actually share those across a network. For me it's become one of those programs that I won't be without. Give it a try, I recommend it!
