Organizing Your Time

The Move CD contains a personal time organization program called KOrganizer. You can use this program to keep track of your appointments, to-do items, and essential dates such as your wife's birthday.

Launch KOrganizer by clicking the Calendar icon in the Kontact shortcut bar, or go to K Menu→ Organize→ Organize your time. The main KOrganizer screen is divided into four sections (Figure 6-15).

You'll notice that the menu items and toolbars along the top have changed to reflect items specific to KOrganizer.
