Welcome to I’m an Organizing Junkie!
I love using lists to keep myself organized and on track. I especially love detailed lists. I like breaking down my tasks into small manageable steps to keep me focused and to avoid getting overwhelmed. I’ve blogged about this before here. I’ve now discovered a downloadable software program called the Fruitful TaskManager that makes it super easy to manage and access such a list on your computer.
FruitfulTime is a software development company specializing in productivity software. FruitfulTime TaskManager, is a to do list software which will help you to organize your life and get things done.
This to do list software tracks your main tasks at the top of the screen and then the subtasks of each of these main tasks on the bottom half of the screen. You check them off as you complete them. It’s very easy to use.
For instance, your main task might be to book your summer vacation but just listing that doesn’t allow for you to clear your head of all the smaller subtasks associated with it. So it’s a good idea to also list and check off the detailed subtasks such as book airfare, book hotel, arrange dogsitting, buy new shoes, buy a map, that kind of thing. You then assign a start date, due date, notes and reminders to each task, helping you get organized in no time. With a task management software you will never miss another deadline since you will get reminded!
For the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival I have TWO licenses to giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post before Friday at 11:59 pm. Please be sure to leave a valid email address. Open to everyone! I’ll announce the winner on Saturday sometime.
And, you know, if you are anxious to get going on organizing your lists you can always download a free 10 day trial here.
Good luck everyone and thanks for stopping by!!

This sounds like a great product. I’m always making lists of things to do. Please enter me in the contest. Thanks.
I am going now to download the free trial!
What a great program! I am recently delving into being very serious about organizing my home.
I am beginning slow, starting one drawer at the time, and now I am ready to take on even more!
Thanks for showcasing a great product!
One can never have too much organization right? I am always up for more! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great giveaway!
Very cool!
MAN How cool is that software??? What a great thing to win…thanks for the chance.
I have lists for EVERYTHING !!! I am a total list lover !! This software looks cool ! I’m going to go download the free trail now !!! :)
Love getting more organized with my lists! Enter me!
THANKS!
I’m going to have a closer look at this, it sounds just like what I need to do, break things down into small tasks rather that looking at the large task to be completed and ending up overwhelmed
Thank you so much for showing us this software. I downloaded the free trial and it is really good.
As you say, the fact that tasks can have sub-tasks allows us to break down overwhelming messes, ahem, *Projects* to do-able steps. The program helps you learn how to use it by popping up clear instructions as and when you need them, which is really well thought-out design. The progress feature offers motivation for people tackling large projects to keep working at it and watch that green bar grow.
I love making lists because:
1-they keep me organized
2-I like to cross them off
3-I just do :)
Saweet! I love list making too. I’ll have to check it out tomorrow.
Great Giveaway!!! Thanks!

So I’m not entering - I just wanted to tell you how this works for me :)
It was great chatting with you on Thursday - I’m hoping we can finish off this Thursday?

This sounds really interesting. I wonder if it would help me? I would love to find out! lol.
Thanks for hosting this contest. I hope I win!
would LOVE this! thanks for the chance!
I am a detailed list maker. I have lists for everything, including “what to do before guests arrive”, “spring cleaning”, “camping lists”, and so many more. It would be great to have them all in one place and not on random sheets of paper.
What a great giveaway, Laura! Please enter my name. I am having a contest at Miller Manor, too! Have a great week!

I’d love something like this if it works on Macs. What a neat concept.
Hooray for Bloggy Carnival time!
I would love to win this one. Thanks!
I love this idea! I’m a list maniac - this could help take the overwhelming and make it doable!
I love this…I could get rid of those 5 (or more) notebooks I have and save time by not re-writing everything ( a little anal here). Great prize…Thanks!
WOW! What a great tool to have! Thanks for sharing!
WOW!! How cool is that!! Count me in!!
Thanks for all the great work you do!!
Ph, please, please, please?! I love lists, but I am forever rewriting them to make them neat…
I love the sublist thing! I hate when I just jot down the main point in my to do list and forget one of the things that goes with it.
I would love to win this.. I love making lists and organizing things in lists.. however lists are linear and therefore hard to organize like this software helps it.
This software sounds and looks great and really cool!!
palmersf(at)bellsouth(dot)net
Just recently found the blog and am catching up on some things, but as a tech geek, this software caught my attention. My wife and I are constantly writing tasks down like this, but scraps of paper only go so far… and then we have to start over again for repeated tasks (like vacation trips). A software based solution sounds like a great idea!
What a great prize! Thanks, I hope I win as I would love this to try and be more organized.
I love list helpers. They really help me out. Please enter me.
Hey did you notice one of your posts are featured on BlogHer?
This looks like a cool product. I might give the trial a shot…
Although I am a big pen-and-paper planner fan, I might be swayed; this sounds like a great software program. Thanks! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
I love your site–your ideas are always great! And I love your giveaways!
Hi! It really does sound wonderful. I am on a journey of better time management. I have the menu planning down to a science and have started to declutter.
I just finished reading Donna Otto’s book “Get More Done In Less Time”. Wouldn’t the software fit in perfectly?
Thanks so much for your blog. Your organizing is keeping me in check too.
Take care,
Babsi from Gigglepeas!
Mmmm, just what a fellow-organizer would love! Please enter my name in the list! As a computer-savvy-listmaker, I have attempted to switch over to the computer, anyway! This would be perfect!
That is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Sign me up!

Oh my goodness- I think I drooled a little when I saw the pictures of the program! Lists are my weird little thing! I have a notebook that is as long as a legal pad but have as wide that I use just for lists, and I get seriously happy flipping through past lists. This product looks amazing!
Do they make it for Mac?
Wow! This looks great. Would be well used at my house!
This looks like great software to have. Sign me up! :)

Oh that looks like fun! I’ve tried a few online task lists, and have used Outlook, but still haven’t found one that does the trick! Would LOVE it!!
Oh, this sounds wonderful!
I am a list person too! It makes life so much easier. And since I spend a lot of time on the pc this would be perfect!
I would love to have this! I am struggling to be a better homemaker and work a full time job outside the home, and start my own website too!
What a GREAT idea someone came up with!
I am already drooling…
What a lifesaver! That sounds fabulous!
Wow…this sounds awesome. My biggest problem with to-do lists is I still have to remember all the subtasks.
Oooh Oooh Oooh! Right here!!!
I’ve been missing your blog lately due to not reading any blogs because of moving/packing/stressing over the both of those.
Glad I came back today!!
Pick me, pick me, pick me! Look like a great product!
I could definitely use this in my life!
I think it’s fate. I just started investigating online to-do lists last night! I really need it!
My husband would think I was the coolest person ever if I won this (he’s an organizing junkie too).
I always make lists and then lose them-so things don’t get done!! :) This would be great!
Thanks for including me!
I’ve been looking for a program like this. I may have to order it, if I don’t win.

The software sounds very powerful; a wonderful tool for those of us who are trying to become more organized.
Being a pastor’s wife, first time mom, and home business owner something like this would be GREAT for me! Please enter me.
Wow! This is exactly what I have been looking for - with no success to date! I am not thrilled with the task mgmt system in Outlook and other web-based task mgmt systems are too simplified. Please enter me. If I win, I’ll do a review on it too and reference you! Thanks so very much for covering it.
I so want and need this! Between the 4 kids, church, blogging and homeschooling my head is about to fall off!

You have no idea how much I need this! I wish I was more organized and I’m always forgetting things I need to do!
That sounds like some pretty cool software!
This looks pretty interesting. I wonder if it would solve the honeydo list issue at our house.
Ooooo, a task manager! I like it! Great idea because I never know where to start with lists and how detailed (or not) to get with them.
I’d love to win that software. I love making lists.

It sounds good, but WonderHubby would kill me. ~I spend too much time on the ‘puter already!
Great giveaway though :)
This sounds awsome.
Love your blog!!! Sounds like another great product that would help with organizing the family.
Product sounds great and this cheap mom can use all the help I can get when it comes to being organized!
That looks awesome! I use Outlook to organize my tasks, but it isn’t that efficient because it can’t do subtasks. So I’d love it!
Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!
I could really use this to help me stay on track. I’m a visual learner.. so maybe seeing my tasks this way will help me get them done. Thanks for the chance to win!
Sounds like a great tool! Good luck everyone!
I am a list maker too. Thanks!
I love lists and it looks like this one is color coded - sweet! Thanks for doing this!
So cool! I really enjoy your blog. Thanks for helping all of us organizationally-challenged people out here.
I just came across your blog from a comment on a blog I read faithfully. I, too, am a crazy organizer. At least I thought I was until I “met” you! Thanks for the challenge…
Have a great day!
Just found your blog and hope to learn much! The software looks VERY cool!
I am quite nuts about lists. I have lists for my lists (and that is not a lie, I wish it was.) I would love this and probably use it daily. If I don’t win it I will have to add it to my list of things to buy! :)
This would definitely help me get started on being organized!
Oh this looks like a great idea. Goodness knows I could use all the help I can get.
I just discovered your blog! And it looks like I came on the right day. :) I could totally use that software.
Ooh sounds fun! I’m so glad I found your blog - we recently bought a new house and found out we’re pregnant! So I’m trying hard to get as organized as possible in the next nine months! :-)
Now that is a practical giveaway. Thank you!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks!
I am always looking for a better tool to use to stay organized. Thanks for the offer!
This would be great to win!
I LOVE lists. I just found your site today, so I’m going to take that as a good sign that I will win this software. It sounds great.
great product! Thanks for making it free!
Looks interesting.
OH my Goodness! I NEED this! I mean I really NEED this! I have about a hundred notebooks for the hundred different projects, activities, dr. appointments, grocery list, and church information! I SO badly NEED something to hold ALL my information in one place. My husband could vouch for me! He NEEDS me to have this! I am the organized one in the family if that tells you anything. This is such a great product I might have to buy it even if I don’t win it!
I would love to win this!!!!!
This is something I could really use!
This is so nice of you. I would love it.
This is really cool…I LOVE LISTS! thanks for the great blog!
I’m a “list person”, also! This looks great!
Thanks!
This sounds like a great program!
Thanks!
This would be a life saver for me! My email address is in my Blogger profile, just in case I win!
I love lists! Thanks
This is totally up my alley!
This product would turn my stressed-out world into an oasis of peace and calm. No matter what I do to try an organize myself and my family - things just pile up! FruitfulTime TaskManager - take me away! (I don’t have any Calgon handy!)
This sounds interesting. I had not even thought about there being software for keeping organized like that!
