Hello Vadim! I have just purchased and downloaded your "Dynamic Time Management" and look forward to reading/implementing its suggestions. Just from the brief time that it took to preview the materials, I can see that you have put a tremendous amount of time, effort and research into creating a dynamic tool for those who struggle with the need to become or stay organized. I certainly do not wish in any way to be offensive here or to discount your life's work; I just wanted to ask if you would welcome input from a native English speaker who is also a linguist and a retired teacher. As I run across an occasional error in English, may I send you an e-mail with a suggested correction? If so, can you provide with me an e-mail address, or would you prefer for me to post here? I look forward to beginning wth your materials tomorrow and will share more in the future about why I now need a post-career organizing framework. Sincerely, Joyce Fredette

A customer complained in the uninstall survey that Activities and Priorities "changes my [priorities] color settings every time I log on to my computer". Since he/she did not indicate the email, the answer is here. It is by design. The priorities colors and values change themselves with time. It is because Activities and Priorities does not manage to-do list things. It manages your long-time life goals, your core values and most important wellness dimensions, all things that you should do regularly to have the success in life, be happy and healthy. These things are all equally important and the priority has the activity that you did not spend enough time regularly. For example if you don't do your physical exercise regularly your fitness degrades with time. Correspondingly, the physical exercise priority changes the color with time from white (OK) to orange (high priority) and then to red (must do).

The page about the Wellness Dimensions has been published. The six wellness dimensions suggested by Dr. Hettler are similar to Dr. Covey's First Things in the time management and my own minimal set of the most important activities. All three talk about the balance that means running from one area to another fast enough to spend time and exercise in each other on the regular basis. This is the third of the news (from 10) about the time balancing in the wellness that will be published daily.

The page about the Wellness Wheel has been published. Wellness Wheel is a good metaphor for the wellness because if we remove any of the six wellness sectors from the wheel, it stops to be a wheel. It means that to preserve the wellness we should exercise in all six wellness dimensions and continuously balance them. This is the second of the news (from 10) about the time balancing in the wellness that will be published daily.
