Introduction

All-in-1 Personal Organizer (APO) is an ergonomic personal information manager (PIM) with three main uses; in fact it can be used as:

1) An organizer, i.e. a tool for managing tasks, contacts, notes and any other kind of information:

With APO you can manage actions, engagements and time schedules, record and retrieve all sorts of information such as study notes, instructions, quotations, translations of technical terms or foreign words, chronologies, postal addresses, telephone numbers, file and directory paths, e-mail addresses, web addresses, prices, budget elements, inventories, indexes, catalogues of books or other media, a journal, etc. in a homogeneous, integrated system;

All textual information is contained in a Microsoft Access 2000 relational database and protected by a keyword (however, you don’t need to install Access 2000);

Information created with APO can be displayed in any of the following ways:

o Table: i.e. a grid-like panel

o Calendar: organized by month and day (only for records carrying an expiration date/time)

o Tree map: i.e. a hierarchical organization structure with roots, branches and leaves

o Tag map: i.e. a map of text tags aligned to form one or more columns

o Sticky note: i.e. a window looking like a yellow sticky note carrying a single item of information

o Random map: i.e. a map of tags randomly positioned and randomly animated (containing text or images)

o Random item: i.e. a slide show of single tags randomly chosen (with text and/or images)

· Records may include hypertext links to data residing inside or the outside the program (including other APO records, file links and Web links), can be dragged and dropped within a window or between windows, and can be tiled and animated in various ways.

2) An image viewer:

APO can display images, thumbnails and slide shows based on jpg, gif and bmp files; it can be used as a standalone image viewer or in conjunction with the other APO functions.

3) A mind stimulator useful for reflection, self-analysis and self-improvement

APO offers an ideal environment to record everything that may help you to know yourself better, remind the essential facts of your life, examine your situation, understand what you can and what you want to change, define objectives and pursue them in a rational way, analyze and adjust your expectations and aspirations.

By using APO as a tool for reflecting, you can train your mind to function in a more efficient way, make your thought more voluntary and effective, develop the capability to choose and take decisions in a rational way, overcome mental laziness, stimulate intelligence, imagination and creativity.

APO may facilitate self-analysis, confronting, and self-suggestion in order to overcome lack of motivation, inhibitions, fears, timidity, unjustified negative feelings and other psychological difficulties. In fact, with APO you can stimulate your mind with information consisting of text, images and sounds capable of triggering emotional reactions that you would like to overcome, correct or reconcile. A sufficient number of stimulation sessions will cause reduction or neutralization of the unhealthy emotional reactions and the liberation of ideas and mental energies which where inhibited by them.

With more than 20 different window forms, APO gives you in one product all the functions you may ask from a powerful, yet simple to use organizer for home and office use, plus capabilities you have never seen in any other product or even imagined.

The unregistered version of APO can only be used for 30 days from installation. Check the current registration price at All-in-1 Personal Organizer Registration Policy.

APO has been conceived and developed by Bruno Cancellieri (www.cancellieri.org).
