With an appointment planner you can save yourself a lot of stress in everyday life, because well planned is half the battle. In this practical tip, we present the three best appointments planners.

PTBSync: organizer for Windows

• The PTBSync software is completely free. After installation, the tool appears confusing at first, because of the abundance of options. But after a short time you can find your way around.
• Standard functions include creating appointments and reminders. These are then displayed on the screen with or without an alarm tone if required.
• In addition to the functions for planning your appointments, other features can be shown and hidden. This includes important data about your computer, the current weather and the phases of the moon.

EssentialPIM: Scheduler and more

• The EssentialPIM software is also available free of charge, but is also available as a pro version. However, the free version is completely sufficient for normal users.
• With EssentialPIM you can not only manage your appointments, but also your emails, contacts and notes if you wish. You can simply import existing data from other programs such as Outlook.
• In the calendar you can switch between a daily, weekly or monthly overview. Appointments can be marked as private and business, the allocation of priorities is also possible.

Rainlendar: Schedule appointments easily and clearly

• The more classic Rainlendar is also free. The pro version allows you to compare your appointments with Outlook or Google for 10 euros.
• The tool is comparatively clear, since many functions are only visible with a right click. Creating and managing your appointments is child's play here. It is also possible to create reminders and to-do lists.
• The Rainlendar lies transparently on the desktop. Each time you start, the software will also inform you of current dates.
