As a CoFounder & CEO of a BioTech startup, it’s always challenging to balance the urgent tasks like email with important long-term goals. Yomez has really helped me stay responsive while maintaining focus on the bigger tasks. Also, the intelligent scheduling of tasks means that I can at any time pull up my calendar and at a glance see what I should be working on. If I decide I need a coffee instead, I can leave without another thought, confident that Yomez will rearrange my calendar to keep me on track.
As an outside consultant to several companies, juggling the various deliverables with clients can be quite a challenge. And if I am not careful, I can find myself spending a lot of time on the items that are not the highest priority or don’t have the most immediate deadline. And then along came Yomez. This tool has allowed me to do what other tools have not, manage both my assignments and my calendar simultaneously. Yomez lets me know if I am not going to meet a client deadline based on my schedule and I can adjust my time commitments accordingly to ensure we have delivered. In a business, where time equals money, Yomez is not only increasing my productivity, it is helping me drive to greater revenues and better client satisfaction.
Before Yomez, I would spend time each night manually rolling tasks forward on my calendar for the next day, and I had no realistic way to know when I could get to a task that wasn’t one of the top priorities for today or tomorrow. Yomez lays my tasks out on my calendar in a single stream, automatically rolls them forward and flows them around scheduled and rescheduled meetings, eliminates the stress of overbooking my day, and lets me see at a glance when my theoretical list for “today” or “this week” could realistically get done. Even in Beta, it is saving me time, connecting me to the reality of my schedule, and reducing the stress of feeling forever deeply overbooked.
Decided to go out for breakfast with my daughter today and simply deleted a work block I had put in my calendar and Yomez did the rest to rearrange my work tasks to the next available block – incredible functionality and incredible stress relief. I’m feeling more relaxed this weekend than ever because I know the stuff I have to do this weekend will get taken care of because of the planning I was able to do in Yomez Friday night! It’s like Agile development for life!
