As I posted the other day about using Portable Apps you may notice that Mozilla Sunbird comes as standard on one of the installs.  I knew what Mozilla Sunbird was, but I never thought I’d have a need for it, however, upon using it I’ve found that it’s a blessing to have, especially seeing as though I can simply carry it around on my USB key.  As long as there’s a computer available somewhere then I can run it.

My main love of this application is how lightweight it is, there’s nothing complex about it at all.  The views are very configurable and immediately I switched to the month view so I can see what’s going on.  Additionally the repetition options for events is very handy, and already I’ve set in meetings, lectures, times I have to work, rehearsel times et cetera.  Occasionally a repeated event may not occur on certain weeks, and Sunbird can act upon that ensuring it doesn’t occur on certain weeks if you so wish.

Tasks are available at the bottom left of the window shows what tasks need doing, and when they need to be done with the option to hide completed tasks.

In general, this application exposes all of the essential tools you need to manage your time whilst hiding complexity of many time management applications with a simple, intuitive user interface which anyone could figure out.  On top of all this, it’s portable if you so wish!
