Waking Up To Daylite
I was reading an article on Lifehack about handy lists a month ago and was intrigued when someone mentioned Daylite. I wasn’t sure what that meant or what it was, thinking it as one of those web-based list organizers. Still, being the Google-phile that I am, I just had to see what it was.
Turns out, Daylite is more than just a handy place for lists but it’s a whole slew of everything one would need to keep sane. Actually, if you asked me nicely, I’d say Daylite is like having Betty and Sandy on crack.
My recent projects have got me all whirling about in my seat just having to remember what had recently been discussed and what the status of an active project is. Thankfully, almost everything gets discussed over email these days and Daylite’s Mail Integration has been a lifesaver. With it I could link every email message with a contact, a project, an appointment, a task, and an opportunity. This is definitely useful if you’re a freelancer or a small business owner and you have emails bouncing off left and right about request for quotes, enquiries, or an update regarding a latest ongoing project. If your team uses Daylite it’s easy to assign tasks and keep track of who’s doing what and when.
I would say, Daylite was rather easy to navigate with from the beginning as it is straight forward. Of course some people may beg to differ but, like every software/technology available, one must have patience and an open mind to make it work. However, the people over at Daylite are up-to-speed on customer support so there’s no need to worry about being in the dark on this one.

Also, since Daylite was built for a Mac, it’s possible to sync everything to your iPhone or iPod Touch, which I think is bloody brilliant as everything nowadays is about mobility. I know, Daylite‘s such a delight to work with, isn’t it? Now if only I could get my hands on an iPod Touch…
