Some PIM software products can be synchronized with other PIM devices through computer networks (including mobile phone ad hoc network fax or MANETs). Generally, this performance can not achieve immediate and continuous data update, but it can basically achieve timely and rapid update between different computer devices, including desktops, laptops and personal digital assistants.
We have learned about the composition of personal information above, which is very important for information management.
After Apple introduced "PDA" (Personal Digital Assistant) on 1992, global personal informatization began to develop and changed our lives every day. At present, the application of personal informatization has been very popular abroad. In developed countries, families and individuals have realized the synchronous processing of personal information data of mobile phones, multipoint PCs, PDAs and online servers. In China, due to various reasons, it is only limited to the single-point application of mobile phone or PC and server, and the information recording, tracking and management functions are single, and the information integration in the module is low, so it is impossible to realize an integrated information platform. In order to meet the management of information and data, we have to use the equipment of several platforms, collect and select several application software with different functions, and buy some accessories, which not only increases the use cost, but also remembers several groups of passwords for complicated operations, which greatly reduces the efficiency of mastering and using information. We have to believe that the era of personal information synchronous processing will come sooner or later, but now we can't wait to manage the current information processing means and methods efficiently. Generally speaking, we can do it every 3 steps:
1. Statistics of current information, such as current goals or plans, to-do items or schedules, current property status, current revenue and expenditure analysis, etc. , classified statistics.
2. Newly generated information refers to new information every day, such as: new tasks and schedules, records of processing tasks, changes or modifications of information, revenue and expenditure records, storage of collection documents, keeping a diary, adding communication information, sending and receiving emails, etc.
3, information analysis, query all kinds of information in the past, conditions or a large number of information retrieval, classified query and statistics, financial information statistics and analysis.
However, if we still manage this information manually, it is basically impossible to complete the statistics and analysis of information and achieve it efficiently. We need to use computer software tools to help us complete this complicated and numerous information management work. Here I quote a free software as a tool to introduce, Jiameng Personal Information Management Software Popularization Edition (hereinafter referred to as Ba Pim Popularization Edition), which is non-profit, and the manufacturer's concept is a software product developed for popularizing national personal informatization. This software integrates many international advanced information management concepts (GTD time management, MBO target management, PKM knowledge management) from the whole software design to the research and development process, which is an essential method for our personal information management. The functions of the software system include personal goal management, business plan reminding and handling, schedule reminding, family financial planning, financial planning, income and expenditure records, physical assets, creditor's rights and debts, diary, personal address book, knowledge management, public information inquiry, holiday automatic reminding, customized email automatic sending and so on. Personally, I think that personal information management can be effectively completed at present.
