Have you ever woken to your bed clock alarm from an incredibly deep sleep? When it happens it can take some time for the body to completely wake up. I’ve found myself at work, an hour or so later, still feeling groggy after a moment like that, and I’m really not that productive. Normally your body gets into a routine, and prepares itself for your waking time. For travelers and people on a varying schedules this can be impossible. So being able to coincide the time you wake with a moment when your in a light stage of sleep, or almost awake, can save time and improve performance in the early part of the day. |

The perfect nag
Life Balance is just a to-do list, computer enhanced---an extremely smart to-do list. It is to normal to-do lists what word processing on a PC is to writing on a typewriter. The cynical, ultra-critical nerds at VersionTracker rain praise and thanks on the program--- "cannot recommend enough;" "superb;" "elegant and ingenious;" "it's a way of life." 
The "life balance" part comes at the start of using the software. You define a half dozen or so major life activities within which all your activities and tasks can be hierarchically outlined. Mine happened to be: Consolidate Long Now; Expand Long Now; Earn money; Keep fit; Maintain home; Explore. Then you break everything down into projects, tasks, and subtasks. The program keeps a tally of what you actually do (ie. check off your lists) and keeps you informed how your overall balance is developing. That's fine, though to me it's the least interesting feature of the program. |

Instead I'm going to outline several key considerations that usually help folks decide which will suit their needs. |
