Set goals for yourself, your family, or any group; plan paths to success, and manage time and money.
The Pathways Planner Freeware helps you to set goals, manage finances, and plan activities that will bring happiness to you and your family. It is also useful for small organizations such as charities in order to plan projects and track finances. The software includes the planner itself plus an alarm clock, a person and address book, a handy filer, an "idea for the day", a tool for developing an expert system, and a launch bar for the various accessories. Planning features include goal setting, financial planning, budgeting, accounting, time management, project management, and tracking of progress against goals.
I am still reviewing it and learning about the features. I am enjoying it so far. I believe this is suppose to be a budget planner. I haven't had enough time to indicate if it is useful for me. My problem is I really don't have the time to keep up with it on a daily basis, most people don't. What;people need is more of an automated daily planner, for example. (This the same daily my routine, everyday from 8 to 5 period, Now, I have an appointment, doctor, game, birthday this week to go too. Then I can add personally during the week so I won't forget, and an alert alarm clock that beeps, Not a red indicator, unless it flashes my whole computer.) The truth is, it is simple to carry and use a phone with a simple daily planner, alarm clock everyday, than to carrying around a laptop computer.

Well pretty much the entire user interface.

Waste of time. User Interface from 1990...
Very (too) clever

Pros
Free download
Cons
Most files will not download. Way too complicated. Couldn't even use calendar function until I had entered what 'motivator' the event was for. Decided to delete entire program - download is a waste of time.
Summary
Too many bugs, too many steps to enter appointments into calendar
Definitely use the tutorial.

Pros
If you're looking for detailed self management, not just a calendar, it seems to be good.

Pros
This software had a lot of goal oriented planning which I liked. It was also very flexible and had a great tutorial. Also worked in Vista.
Cons
Glitch, Definitely Not perfect. Some of the captions on the windows where you type in titles for your goals just didn't work. I think that is also why a lot of people here found the software confusing.
<p>
<p>I will admit that it does take some figuring out, but a lot of that is hindered by software glitches, and how many steps that you need to take just to do one simple thing. Just switching to the address book requires that you set up something completely unrelated to it first, and it is the same way for the to do list, calendar etc.
<p>
<p>This software needs to be simpler to use and it needs more work to get the bugs out of it. The interface could use a little work too. Then it will be worth the download.
Summary
too complicated

This is the most confusing "calendar" program I've ever seen. I tried to understand it, but gave up... Finally deleted program from my computer.
