until they pile up and overwhelm you?

Six tips to managing your time and reducing stress:

- Get organized
- Create a task list
- Prioritize ruthlessly
- Set time limits for tasks
- Stop procrastinating
- If a task is too big, divide it into smaller tasks and do those instead

Task Manager is designed to enable you to manage your time effectively by giving you a simple
tool to organize, prioritize and manage your tasks.

Stop procrastinating. Stop letting tasks pile up until they overwhelm you. Get organized !

Task Manager Features:

Tasks:
- Create tasks with start dates, end dates, title and description
- Tasks can repeat daily, weekly, or monthly
- Tasks can have child tasks
- Tasks can have tags (custom tags created by user) which allow filtering
- Tasks may be filtered by status (completed or not) or tags

Child Tasks:

"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford

- You can create child tasks for a task
- If parent task gets completed, children get completed as well
- Allows you to break up big jobs into multiple small jobs, organized together

Tags:

XStitcher 2.5 Released

On the inventory screen, only show P (Project button) if there was actually projects defined. Hitting the P with no projects defined was confusing some users. So now, if you have no projects, the P button does not show and there is much more room to tap to add inventory.

Release Schedule

After much deliberation,here is the plan:
1) XStitcher for GAST and WDW
2) XStitcher for HDF
3) XStitcher (for DMC) 3.0 -> Corrected iPad interface, need to figure out multi-device strategy
4) XStitcher for Anchor 3.0 -> Corrected iPad interface, addition of the my stash feature
5) Add some form of calculator to all XStitcher apps
6) Crescent Colours.....

Had to split off HDF onto it's own app - I try to keep the apps to approx. 500 floss, because of memory/disk constraints. GAST has about 200, WDW about 200, but HDF seems to have about 500 by itself.

I should be able to submit the GAST and WDW version by Monday, which means it will be available for purchase around Valentine's day. HDF version should be ready for submission a week later, so it can probably be purchased around the 21st.

I am then going to focus on fixing the iPad UI for all the apps. I didn't realize I had so may iPad users. Once I've done that I'll get to some of the more recent suggestions - such as Crescent colours, etc. I do get to most things eventually, it just takes awhile - getting all the images together takes a while.

Thanks for all the feedback !!!!
