MyPA AddIn for Outlook - Your task list tells you what. MyPA works out when.

by•
MyPA is an intelligent planner for Outlook that turns your task list into a realistic plan for your day. Instead of giving you another list to manage, MyPA works out when you can actually get the work done, automatically time-blocking tasks around meetings, priorities, deadlines and the commitments already in your calendar. It also brings email into the workflow with Smart Sweep, helping you turn actionable messages into tasks that get planned alongside everything else.

I built MyPA because I kept coming back to the same problem. I could have a well-organised task list and still have no clear idea when I was actually going to do everything. Your task list tells you what needs doing. Your calendar tells you where you need to be. The difficult bit is working out how the two fit together. MyPA plans Outlook tasks into the available time in your calendar, working around meetings and other commitments. When the day changes, it can replan rather than leaving you with a schedule that no longer reflects reality. I wanted to keep it Outlook-first rather than create another productivity system. Your tasks, calendar and working day stay where they already are. It is still early, so I would particularly welcome feedback from people who use Outlook heavily or have tried time blocking before. How do you currently decide when you are going to do the tasks on your list?
