Software and friends can be alike — no matter how long you know them, they can still surprise you.
I have been using EssentialPIM since 2005 and was recently surprised by a feature in Notes that I discovered by chance. I'll come to the surprise later, but I had learned a new way to hold my place in a note and it got me thinking about the times you leave your work and need to return. You have an idea where you were, but need help getting back.
Here are four ways EPIM helps.

We announce the release of EssentialPIM 8.66. The new version comes with a number of changes and improvements, among them improved import of your data from Outlook, improved synchronization with Google Calendar, more consistently working Undo feature in notes and full compatibility with systems that use 3 monitors.

We saw it when our children were little and then with our grandchildren, too. "It" is the urge to organize things. They sorted blocks by color, shape and size or rounded up stuffed animals according to their kind. They differed in how they organized, but the children instinctively brought order to their world.
Ours is not a world of toys, but a glut of information that creates its own need for order. This is where PIM software shines. Our first post looked at ways that a personal information manager (PIM) helps to gather your scattered contacts, to dos, passwords, lists and more. In this post I want to consider how an app like EssentialPIM helps to organize what you've collected.
This is not so much about "how to" organize as it is a look at a few tools for getting organized in EPIM. We'll group them under three R's: Record, Return and Retrieve.
The newspaper that I delivered through my teen years is out of business and the insurance company where I began my IT career has merged so many times that it is unrecognizable.
So, how is it that EssentialPIM keeps shining after 16 years when we use an every day event — sunset — to describe the disappearance of so many personal information managers and other apps?
We announce the immediate availability of EssentialPIM 8.65. This release improves synchronization and authorization with Dropbox, Office365, iCloud and Google services. We also fixed an issue when the newly created tasks and notes were placed into the wrong lists/trees. Couple of performance and usability improvements are among the changes, as well. For the complete list of changes in this version, please see the Version History page.
Update to this version is free for the regular one year of free updates license owners if they already have the 8.6x series version of EssentialPIM Pro installed. The update is always free for the lifetime license owners.
New version downloads can be found on the Get EPIM page or you can get the update from within EPIM by clicking on Help->Check for Updates.
If you need to renew your existing EssentialPIM Pro license or get a new one, see the Pricing page for the available options.

Before EssentialPIM, I organized my work somehow — probably in a spreadsheet — but I can't remember exactly because that's how long EPIM has been my time tracking software.
As an IT professional, I am assigned to several projects simultaneously and have to log the time I spend each week into Workday, our human resources system. Even if I shorten the time-entry window to daily, I cannot remember at the end of the day where my time goes because of interruptions and unrelated tasks.
