CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET staff on June 15, 2009

Stress can be alleviated, say the gurus at TROG Bar, if we understand that it isn't the result of being too busy, but instead from trying to manage (and actively remember) all of our tasks all at once. With that in mind, the TROG Bar presents a flexible system to keep your tasks organized and offers you help getting the most from the program.

TROG Bar (which, by the way, is short for Total, Relaxed Organization Guru) integrates nicely with Microsoft Outlook and can work in conjunction with several popular task management systems such as Franklin Covey and Getting Things Done (although these additional systems are not necessary). Just plug in what you need to remember in TROG Bar (or Microsoft Outlook, once you have installed TROG Bar), the priority you place on that particular task, and the corresponding dates, and TROG Bar will remember, remind and prioritize via the handy TROG Bar sidebars. The sidebars give you at-a-glance information for completed and open tasks and are easy to follow.

Much like the animated assistant Microsoft offers, TROG Bar has a Neolithic cartoon coach to help you. Even if you aren't enamored of this approach, we suggest you permit this feature to get the most from the program.

TROG Bar is moderately priced, and offers the standard 30-day trial period for evaluation. If you need help staying on top of everyday tasks, this flexible tool can help.

Publisher's description

Seize control of your tasks, e-mail, and time with TROG: the Total, Relaxed Organization Guru. Designed by time management experts, this intelligent sidebar automatically prioritizes, manages, and coordinates your task list, e-mail, and calendars--recommending the best tasks to do next--so you spend your time being productive instead of organizing to do lists. Designed for GTD (Getting Things Done), TRO (Total, Relaxed Organization), Covey (Seven Habits), and other popular task and time management systems. Recommends agendas for scheduled and unscheduled meetings. Gently encourages best time management practices and workflow processing. Sidebar design gives you quick access to your daily tasks, appointments, and calendar, with a scratchpad to quickly collect and process tasks and projects. TROG Bar works seamlessly with Outlook e-mail, appointments, task lists, and contacts, so you'll never have to import, export, or synchronize with your Outlook databases.

Version 2009.08.12 features total redesign for a more professional look.
