CheckEmAll! Check it out!
This is a very simple Palm Program that allows you to come up with flexible ways to use it. The premise is simple. CheckEmAll allows you to create a checklist that can hold up to 100 numbered check boxes. How can you use this? The developer web site provides a perfect example. If you are watching episodes of a favorite series on DVD you can check off the ones you’ve watched in order or out of order. Another example not mentioned that I just thought of is breaking a new habit using 3 weeks or 30 days as an example. You can also use it to keep track of the number chapters of several books you are reading or the number of customers/subscribers you are getting per month.

Palm Org Exclusive - ToDo Plus Archiver Hack
This is one for those Bonsai Users who prefer an alternative to exporting your Bonsai items to the built-in To Do/Task program or Daynotez. So here is what I visualized. I wanted to be able to track how many next action items I completed per hour each day. This would mean that I could go back to 2 months from now and find out what I had accomplished on that date between the hours of 2pm - 3pm. Way cool! How do I know on that day that those Bonsai items were completed between the hours of 2pm-3pm if there are no fields for time in To Do Plus or Bonsai?

Dreams in the Palm of your Hand
The great thing about palm software is that even though you can use the basic applications for just about anything a tailored program can be even better. I could write my dreams in the memo pad and put it in a category called dreams, but a dream diary program gives the activity of recording your dreams its own unique and wonderful place. There are also great little extra features specifically made for dream journaling that the memo app isn’t set up for. For instance, there are fields that address what kind of sleep you had & whether or not your dream was lucid. You can even have categories for your dreams. Another cool thing about this program is that it’s free. I looked for a program to track dreams and it always surprises and delights me when the best program for what I am looking for is free. Sleep is, for most people, a daily activity however recalling dreams is not. Having a place to record your dreams on your palm opens the possibility of dreaming every night. As an added bonus this information can be accessed on your desktop as well. This has been another daily post at Palm Organized.com and just in the nick of time too. Sweet dreams.

When was the last time you…? The Tracker knows!
When was the last time you had a haircut or all of them cut? When was the last time you changed your oil? When was the last time you bought Palm software? All these questions and more can be answered if you had a place to track periodic events. This is another “oldie but goodie and sometimes hard to find thee” program. You can add notes next to each dated entry and even copy the note from the last event if what you will want to write won’t be that much different. I have this software on my palm right now. I had a hard time finding it on Palmgear though, so my recommendation is that you enter “claude elie” as the search term. Claude elie is the name of the developer. There are some programs that do the same thing at a price but this one does the job for free. Enjoy.
PromptMe - A different kind of Checklist.
I hope that the palm programs I feature here will surprise you with little known and very useful palm apps. I believe this is the case with today’s featured app. It’s called PromptMe. It acts like your own personal Bob Dylan in his video for a song called “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” (This will open up in a new browser window. Just close it to come back here.) The program is finger friendly so you can use this without a stylus. If you have an activity that requires a series of actions PromptMe is perfect for guiding you through the process. It is excellent for routine procedures. It’s also great for directions, recipes, how to’s, lecture notes, and any step by step multi-action activity. The lettering is big enough to be practical. PromptMe gets its info from any memo in your memo app created under the category PromptMe (exactly as it is spelled because the program is case sensitive). The memo title becomes the name of the checklist and each line thereafter is a step. Since this program uses the memo app, you’ll be able to edit and create these checklists using your desktop memo program.
