Desktop Software Review

Review of The Journal - Desktop Journaling Software

The Journal is a great tool for planning and for keeping track of information. Within one database you can set up multiple calendar-based notebooks and freeform notebooks. Information can be linked to external files or contained within the database. Embedded objects can be stored in the document and you can set up reusable templates for standard pages within each notebook. And you can have multiple databases -- there's no limit to how you can set the system up.

I use The Journal every day. I have one calendar-based notebook that I use for tracking daily project activity. I have another calendar-based Notebook that I use for planning and forecasting activity. I have several freeform notebooks in which I keep reference information, and still others that I use actively for blogging and writing.

In one notebook, I have embedded Excel spread sheets both for active use and for reference. Another notebook is set up as an index to frequently used web sites along with user id and password information, and the whole database is password protected and encrypted for security.

I recommend this wholeheartedly as a project management jurnaling and record keeping tool.
