Tasks within tasks

[caifalex]

Does anybody know if there is a third party application that will allow for better task organization, that is a program similar to the one included on the vogue (the clipboard with the checkmarks) but that you can actually rank tasks in order (not just high, mid, low) and that allows for subtasks. For example, say one the tasks is Grocery shopping, and within that tasks I have apples, oranges, and bananas... and that once I check apples, oranges and bananas the grocery shopping checkbox gets checked automatically (This isn't what I'll be using it for, but it's the same principle, it'd be for school related stuff now that I'm starting grad school I'll need better time management skills!)

I don't know of one, but how much would you be willing to pay for it?

franklin covey has an application that I want to try. It actually works over the top of outlocj as well as your tasks and calendar. If your not familiar with franklin, it actually lets you prioritize and rank your tasks. You can are more info at franklincovey.com

Thanks thisguyinoc! But to rephrase... does anybody know of a free program that can do all of this? haha, I would gladly pay for it if I had the money, it's just that I don't have it, in fact I'm already thinking of giving back my touch and trading for a palm centro... it's just that the touch is soooo much cooler! I don't have much programming experience (i'm a mechanical engineer, so only a basic C programming class is required for us), but would it be really that hard to modify the tasks program included, I could give it a try and try to write the program myself, i'm just afraid I'll really mess up my phone!! Anyway, thanks for your reply, and if anybody sees a good ppc program that is free around lemme know.

Now that I think about it, how would $10.00 bucks sound? (I know it'd come to like 5 cents an hour, but it's something right? haha)

I know there is something like this over at www.freewareppc.com - except it does not tie into outlooks tasks, but is a standalone ap that just runs on your pda, I believe it can be installed on the card for safe keeping and space savings.
