Why Did I Download/Buy This?

I can’t praise this enough. When I was forced to leave my Daytimer software, I ran up against the need to have repeating to do items. The Palm desktop did not support these at the time. This software does it for you!

How I Use This?

When I first started using it, I used it for repeating to-do items. After the Palm applications allowed these, I continued to use ReDo simply because I don’t like having items that are due in six months cluttering up my to-do list. I want the items added at the point that they need to be so I don’t have to waste energy thinking about them before I need to.

I depend heavily on this application for putting things into my to-do list, particularly one-off items: reminders for pet appointments, quarterly actions, household reminders. When I crashed my Palm and I didn’t have this program, I was lost. I have a back up system now, but it would never function as well as ReDo.

I classify this piece of software as a MUST-HAVE.
