Every day, we wish iCal could do something that our Palm IIIx did in 1997. There’s a Palm calendar app called DateBk, and it has a feature called Floating Events. The idea is that incomplete to-do items would “float” to the next day, so if you forgot to do something, it wouldn’t get left behind on your calendar as the days marched on. The fact that BusyMac’s BusyCal brings that crucial feature to our calendar makes us do a little happy dance, and that’s only scratching the surface of this terrific app.

LogMeIn Pro2 Launches Mac Beta

Even though tons of us use Google Docs or some other cloud feature, there's always that annoying moment when you want to work on something and realize you created it and saved it to your work computer. Or you stayed up late working on something at home, then get to work and realize you don't have access.

LogMeIn solves that problem and with the launch of LogMeIn Pro2 for Mac Beta, they've made it a snap for those of us on the Mac end of the equation.

Bento 3 aims to organize your personal life into tidy, neat compartments. Essentially a database application geared toward real-world situations, you can use the software to track expenses, compare vacation destinations, keep tabs on your company’s customers, curate car maintenance records, and otherwise organize nearly anything that concerns your personal life or small business. Bento deeply interfaces with Address Book and iCal and also connects to iPhoto, Mail, and other Mac mainstays. You can even share databases on a local network, like you might share iTunes or iPhoto libraries.

There’s being prepared as in “I’ve got a bottle opener on my keychain,” and then there’s being prepared as in “I’ve got a pallet of bottled water and two backup generators in my basement.” Somewhere in between lies InfoWallet, a piece of shareware designed to keep your secret personal information protected yet accessible in case of emergency.

Red Sweater FlexTime

I once appeared in my high school’s production of The Pajama Game, a musical about labor strife at a pajama factory, of all things. One of the songs is called “Think of the Time I Save,” and I still get the chorus stuck in my head occasionally: “Tick-tock, tick-tock, tempus fugit. Tick-tock, tick-tock, time goes by.” It’s a super-cheesy musical, but a nice reminder to manage my time well.

So when I recently went looking for a versatile timer app, I was relieved to find FlexTime. This light utility lets you program timed routines, making it a great choice for repetitive tasks.

Remember the Milk

Judging by our desk, you’d never guess that we try to be highly organized. And we’ve tried everything, from David Allen’s nerd-famous Getting Things Done (GTD) dogma, to complex Mac apps, endless paper notebooks, and iCal’s built in to-do features. We have yet to find the perfect system for managing not only our work tasks, but also all the other stuff we have to do in the course of our daily life. But Remember The Milk, a Web service also accessible via iPhone, is helping us become more organized than ever.
