When asked to review an app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad I was excited because the app was about productivity and organization. I hadn’t heard of Intuition, the Mom’s Personal Assistant so I was ready to dive in. I think calling it a “mom’s” is a little limiting because I think it can be used by all women and even men for that matter, although, the colors may be a bit too cheerful for the fellas. *giggle* We all have moments of chaos and many of us have embraced the digital world so having an app that simplifies every day living is just perfect. I’ve tried several organization apps and this by far takes the cake. And even though I said anyone can use it, I do think that Moms will fall in love with it. It has to be the most user friendly organization tool ever.
The first thing you’ll notice is the flower petal like design. It’s very clear, colorful and easy to navigate each categories. Categories consist of:
- ADD TASK, NEARBY, CATEGORIES, CALENDAR
- Organize tasks and to-do lists by categories such as family, school or travel. Or by locations, such as home, office, and grocery store
- Customizable grocery lists with hundreds of items to choose from
- Easy viewing of completed tasks so you can see your productivity
- Reusable checklists and shopping lists
- Task due-dates and times
- Task reminders via email and iPhone alerts
- View your schedule by day, month or as a complete list to quickly see what’s due today, tomorrow, or later
- Recurring tasks for events like soccer games, piano lessons or appointments
- Ability to sync with Google Calendar, iCal and iPhone calendar via Google
- COMMUNITY
- Download templates designed by busy parents and professionals for nutritional and recipe tips, event and party planning, activities for kids, travel and entertainment ideas
- MY INFO
When you don’t want the flower petal down, it can easily be hidden which I loved but found that I preferred it down most of the time. As you can see in the above photo, when you click on the categories petal, it gives you a list of categories that you can add your tasks to. I found that I used grocery shopping, calls, and errands the most.
This photo shows you the calendar and community tips which I found quite useful. You can have your tasks categorized by location and on your calendar. LOVE that feature. Once you complete a task, you can simply mark that off. The community tips section had some pretty neat tips. It wasn’t something I used much but I did find myself reading all the different ideas.
The grocery list was one of my faves. Since my iPhone is attached to my hip, I found it handy to add ingredients and household items I needed and then whip out at the store to add to my basket. The wish list feature is handy for adding birthday items and other gift ideas. Do you ever hear your mom or kid say they would love to have that but then forget what it was by the time their birthday rolls around? Well I do and with this, I was able to add what Toby wanted for his birthday. In fact, I actually text my oldest to ask him and when he text me back, I added it in. And sometimes me and my mom will have conversations of things we like, want, etc. I found myself putting those things on the wish list so that when her birthday comes around, I’ll be able to reference her faves easily.
I haven’t used the everything else category because every other category is so darn organized but I’m sure it will become useful in time.
Overall, the app ROCKS! It literally started out on page 4 of my apps on my iPhone and is now on the first page for easy access. The more I use it, the more I depend on it. I can’t wait til I get the iPad because that will be the first thing I download!
I use Rainlendar desktop calendar. It syncs with Google Calendar and my G1, so I can stay on top of things no matter where I am.
To simplify, I make sure not to spread myself too thin, and then I use google calendar. I hadn’t heard about this app and am going to download it on my iphone!

I simplify and organize my life by making a daily list of things I need to do. I check mark them off after they are completed.
The only way I can organize my life right now is by making lists, lists and more lists. My husband will be deploying again and there are so many details I have to take care of while he is gone so I have to write lots of things down. I don’t have any gadgets that require apps but I really think these would really help me greatly. Thank you!

I’m in the process right now of trying to organize/simplify my life DRASTICALLY! I’ve always been a list maker, but the lists are on envelopes, post-it notes, grocery store receipts, feed sacks, etc. etc. So the first and simplest thing I’ve done is to just keep a spiral notebook with me all the time to write my lists in. It’s actually been good because it’s also become a journal of sorts, where I jot down ideas, quick poems, songs I want to download, and quotes I hear.
I’ve REALLY been craving an Ipod Touch…so hope I win!

My organizational skill were awful so my son took over, put everything in it’s place in the house now all I need do is make sure I put things back when I am done with them! Seems to be working out good so far.
Well, I guess this is pretty low tech, but I have a notebook that I write everything in that I need to do for a week, and things I need to buy. It cuts down on having lists made all over the place and losing them.
consencrate on simplifing one thing at a time such as finanaces , your schedule, your job etc avoid stress

I feel like a dinosaur! I use a plain old calendar and write everything on it. I don’t have any phone or touch with apps. Does that make me technologically challenged??
Honestly, my life feels anything but organized or simplified lately. I’m struggling. The only thing helping me stay on top of activities is that I write them all out on the calendar.
Ooh this app would be awesome! I mostly try to stay organized by leaving reminders n my laptop and cellphone. Thanks so much!

This Intuition program does look good. You are right, the colors are a bit, uh shall we say, intense! But my life is pretty busy right now, and I have forgotten to pay a few bills recently (credit card bills, AUGHHHH!!) and have missed a few appointments (unbelievable! it’s so embarrassing). ***sigh***
Right now, the only way I organize my life is with billions of sticky notes and Reminder Fox addon for my Firefox browser. It’s cool, but if I’m away from the computer….
Anyway, since I’m not likely to hire a personal maid, software will have to do. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the review.

I keep lists – I’m turning 50 this year so I need to be aware of my cognitive limits. I’ve also slowed down my obligations – I’ve taken a critical view of things I ‘have to do’ and I’ve eliminated several things. Sadly, some of it is active friendship but I find it better and easier to scale down my social obligations.
Simplifying life: I organize, plan, and keep a to-do list. Not knowing what needs to be done is terrible for productivity and terrible productivity means NOTHING is simple in my world LOL So, maintaining a schedule and keeping track of everything I need to do keeps things simple for me :) Also, categorizing and prioritizing everything makes a HUGE difference. I don’t have this app, but would DEFINITELY use it if I win the iPod Touch!
I try to keep my life organized with lists. I have lists everywhere.

PS. Another thing to help keep me organized, besides just recycling the everyday items, we recycle our Wal-mart bags! I recently took back about 8 months worth of bags. Whew, what a huge load cleared from our utility room. I can now find everything else in there!
The problem is, right now I am NOT very organized. My filing systems leave a lot to be desired. The best thing I’ve done for myself is to learn how to say no. It took a long time, but it’s really very freeing!
Always put your most important priorities first! Do what needs to be done, THEN go for the fun!

I keep a sticky note pad in my purse. I also have a smartphone, and I use the calendar to make sure I am organized. It has an alarm, which goes off so many minutes before the activity to remind me. My smartphone has helped me get alot more organized, but I am certain the iPod would help alot. With two ADHD boys, I can use all the help I can get.
The only thing that I use is a list on my fridge. Not very good sometimes but it is the only thing I have right now.

I don’t have the app. I do simplify my life by putting a “standard” grocery list on excel. I print it off and post it in a cabinet. I just circle the items when we run out of something or circle what we need to buy–it is so much easier than writing a new list every time!

i don’t have this app (or an iphone or ipod) but to simply my life I just keep a paper calender that I carry with me.

This would help a lot – keeping track our appointments, birthdays, contact info. A very useful combination.

always keep a notepad close by for the details of my life

I organize my life the old fashioned way with a notepad. I keep it next to my calender/appointment book so I won’t have to keep looking around for them all the time. Writing things down frees my mind for other things and I won’t forget. The app and the iPod Touch to run it on would be a giant leap forward in this process. Thanks for the chance.

Daily entry—I minimize the paper pileup by sorting the mail over the recycle bin/shredder and taking care of it daily!

I oganize shelves by putting things in plastic bins. It’s like having a lot of extra drawers and you can just grab the bin you need without worrying about moving other things on the shelf. It also makes it easy if you need to carry the contents to another part of the house if you need to.

I keep my life organized by creating a mass classwork list at the beginning of each semester. It takes a little time but in the end it helps immensly. I can see the amount of work I have for each day between all my classes and I don’t have to rifle through multiple syllabus and perhaps miss an assignment!
This would help me organize and manange my life because I have a bad habit of grabbing whatever is available to write on and jot something down on it. This leads to the info getting lost / thrown out / etc. a lot of times which is frustrating. This would give me the ability to record things in one place so as to not lose them!… Thanks for the chance to win!…
I would use it to keep track of my grocery list (which I am ALWAYS losing)
keep small lists and tick them off as you go. feel some accomplishment and feel like you’re making some headway.
I try to stay organized by writing things down when I think of them and keeping them in one place – that way I’ll know where to find them!

Don’t have an iPhone, but what a wonderful way to keep track of errands. I always seem to lose my piece of paper with those on it.
I am the queen of lists. But I usually lose my list when I need it! This sounds like I wonderful app.
I love this. I’ve been wanting one of these so much! I’m very low-tech. I use paper to-do lists – no more than six items every day. Then I have reminders set up on my computer for everything! I really need a better solution and this one looks wonderful!
I like to think of myself as very organized so I write lots of lists and then its rewarding to be able to tick things off once they are done. I also try and sort everything out ready for work the evening before so that I don’t forget things in the morning!
Great Giveaway, THANK YOU !!! I’ve been needing one of these !!

I currently use Outlook’s calendar on my PC, but that means I have to go with the old ‘handwritten list’ method when I go out to run errands, and hope that I don’t lose my list! And, then I have to make notes on that list of other things I want to do, things I missed…. and transfer those to outlook when I get home! What a pain! This would be a perfect solution!
lists, lists and more lists, I do a new one every day and try to get things done in order.
I use sticky notes to keep myself organized.
gosh – simple and organized – not! I still keep a handwritten small datebook that I keep in my purse that is my bible. Without that and post-it notes the kids, hubby and I would be lost.

i was lucky enough to find a two drawer filing cabinet from freecycle and it has been an immense help in organising my things. i am REALLY bad with papers and documents but i have no trouble organising anything else! now i’ve set up sliding file folders in the cabinet for my bills and work documents, house docs, family papers, etc. no more paper strewn around the house and that nightmare is gone! :)

Don’t have the Iphone or the app, but one way we keep organized is to coordinate schedules at the beginning of the week so we know who is doing what, who needs rides, who can best handle whatever we have going on.

I also have a calendar in my kitchen, where I write everything down, from GROCERY SHOPPING TODAY, Appointments, anything, it helps to make sure i dont forget anything
.-= shanna´s last blog ..Share Your Dirt Saturday =-.
My husband and I have a weekly meeting where we discuss the events of the upcoming week.
I could use something to keep it all together. I usually have several lists and a couple different calendars and never seem to put it all in one place.
I use the calender feature on my Palm (3 years old now and looks it) to keep my birthdays, practice and game schedules, doctors appointments, school events and even hubby’s PD (payday) and call schedules all in order and I even set reminders before the event to remind me (so I do not forget anything). I also use a dry erase calender on the frig to post the month’s calender and schedule of events for everyone to use (kids and hubby can add events too). Then there is a seperate dry erase board for the grocery list also on the frig of course I still have to transfer it to paper to take it shopping.
I try to sort and deal with the mail right away. Keeps down on mail clutter and keeps us form missing bills because they a re stuck in the mail pile.
It’s a no-brainer, but I make sure everything is in its place. Space organization makes everything easy to find (always keep keys in that specific handbag pocket, for example).

So far I’ve used my calender and my brain to organize. It usually works, but I wouldn’t refuse a little help.
Daily entry: I admit, I’m still living in the dark ages – no electronic calendars for me yet. I have an old fashioned calendar on top of my fridge and we write everything down on it. It’s not high tech but honestly, it works for us. Everyone has access to it and everyone knows that if it’s not written down on the calendar, it’s not happening. We all know at a glance where everyone is at and when we can schedule something new.

Simple things like making sure I have an extra TV remote – just for me – for the times when my kids misplace it. Having more than one garabage sack in the garbage can so that I don’t always have to put one in. We have become more spontaneous instead of making plans only to have something interfere.

Looks like a great tool.
I am always changing the software I use for organizing projects and plans but my single biggest organizing tools are the 2 moleskins I carry with me everywhere. I keep one for jotting ideas as they come to me – no electronic version gives me the same satisfaction as putting pen to paper. My second moleskin is for my daily Top 5-6 list. Because my project lists are so long, I find it easier to focus on 5-6 items per day and whatever I don’t complete gets done first on the next day.
Honestly I rely on my memory most of the time, which isn’t a very good way for me to be organized. I would love to win!

I don’t have an ipod. hubby was drooling all over these though(gotta have the latest gadgetry). As far as organizing and simplifying I have dry erase boards and note pads posted in my kitchen. I have business card file in my purse with all my shoppers cards and insurance cards and info and that’s the best I’ve got so far.

I use Google calendar to send me reminders on major events, and share certain appointments with my family so that they can see at any given time what I have on my plate and we can all coordinate our schedules.
My Ipod committed suicide on my way back up to school (4 hour car ride). I was forced to listen to the local am radio stations the entire way up. Please i need a new ipod so that i can get my life/music in order
We stay organized by loads upon load of calendars! I always carry my own calendar with built in planner, as does my husband. When the kiddo or us has doctor appointments, meetings, work stuff, activies, etc. planned it’s written on our mega dry erase board and in our planners! And as for coupons? We use an expandable file folder. Having an iAnything would tootally simplify our lives! Thanks!

I don’t have the app, but I keep all my appointments on my mini calendar I keep in my purse…..I feel like a dinosaur, but I don’t have any fancy tech toys yet!!
I’m not sure how I’m gonna come up with an organization tip a day.Here’s Day 2 though. One of the ways I get things accomplished is delegation. Now that my kids are older each household member has a daily chore area in addition to their own space. The common space of the living room is kept clean by all.

Another way we stay organized is to have a place for everything.

thank you!
For work items I try to actione emails as soon as they come in so that I don’t have a bunch of unread emails in my inbox. If it needs action later I red flag it for follow up, otherwise I reply, delete or file ASAP.
We get all of our bills electronically now to cut down on our paper around the house. And now every night we go through all of the papers that came into the house – from the mail, school, where ever – can either recycle or act on it immediately. We don’t let stuff pile up any more! It’s amazing how it helps cut down on clutter and is theraputic!!
I just ‘faned’ you in fb, too! :)
I AM TRYING NOT TO BRING SO MUCH STUFF INTO THE HOUSE NOW THAT MY CHILDREN ARE GOWN AND TRYING TO CLEAN OUT SOME THINGS I REALLY DON’T NEED BUT REALLY WANT TO HANG ONTO
I try to sort out everything in my life by writing it down, either on a calender or on a piece of paper in my notebook. I have to try and balance work, college, family. It is easier managing it with writing everything down or else it would be very hectic.
I need this
Daily entry: We have an organizer that is right above our phone, right next to our calendar. One section has bills to be paid, the other has bills to be filed. Our keys hang from the bottom of it. Love it, as it keeps us pretty well organized.

I use apps on my iPhone all the time. The calender is priceless. And I make lists using the Notes app. I will definitely check this app out because it seems like it would organize everything in one place.

One way I try to simplify is by carpooling with other mothers to drop off and pick up our children from their activities.

I get organized by using post it notes and different colored markers to indicate which things are more important to do. Less hassle than using a day by day calendar in my opinion.
Always writing stuff down on a notepad or into my phone. If I don’t I can’t remember anything. :)
I signed up with facebook but could not get it to work on my home page… huh.hhh.. any who… i save invitations in a separate box. Put the date of the event on the out side of the envelope. It is not removed from the box until the event has passed.

I have neither Facebook nor Twitter. That’s how I try to simplify my Internet browsing.
Make a list! That helps to organize your life! Thanks for this giveaway!
Ugh. I seriously struggle to stay organized. I have everything…EVERYTHING…on my Google Calendar. But I don’t have a Smart phone or any i-pod/touch/whatever. So once I leave the house I have NO CLUE what is going on with our schedule. I kind of miss the old days of toting around my big planner. At least I always knew what was going on!!!!
I ask for help when I need it & my husband & I truly work as a team, so two heads are better than one. We help each other stay organized & on top of things. It really does make things easier when someone has your back.

I use several lists to keep my family organized. My lists track regular chores and major projects. I have a grocery list and menu items lists. I’d love to give up on all the paper, but I don’t feel tech savvy enough.
Great app because my iPhone is always in my pocket and it helps me keep organized.
I make notes and lists, chores, for shopping, etc.
It would simplify my life by not having to buy packages of post-it notes!
My desk is full of them! LOL

I stay organized by keeping notes and lists on scraps of paper or post-it notes until I can enter them into my palm organizer.
I make a daily plan.
I make lists and try to stick to them.
I use google tasks in gmail.
I use sticky notes.
I love being organized! It’s my forte! I love have everything in labeled boxes, I’d even go as far as to say that my label maker is my best friend!! :) Anyway, I keep a strict organizer and I also try to make many different schedules. I just downloaded the Intuition app and I already love it, it’s so me! I love the grocery shopping list and I love being able to share it.
I’m following on Twitter and Facebook! Thanks! ;)
I try to simplify by keeping a magnetic notepad on the fridge, that way no matter what pops into my mind, I know there’s a place to write it down!
I also retweet on Twitter, sorry to clog posts!
I use the pop up reminder on my computer.
I try to start each day with a list and follow it when at all possible. It keeps things organized and helps me to feel accomplished each day.

even small tasks don’t get forgotten if you keep track of them!
i’d use the touch (if i win) to organize my life, right now i’m a mess
Every time I get a new email, I handle it and archive or delete it. If I cannot handle it right away it stays in my inbox. I try to keep my inbox down to 10 or so entries, and the unhandled emails become a de facto to do list.
I don’t have the app, but I keep all my appointments on my mini calendar I keep in my purse …I feel like a dinosaur, but I don’t have any fancy tech toys yet!!

I use a small calendar/day planner to keep track of things. But it has no space for tasks/errands/calls, so I often forget about that stuff. This app sounds perfect!
I organize on my cellphone sometimes and even set alarms that way too.

I am in LOVE with my iPod touch…my whole life is on it! Unfortunately, I dropped it on the kitchen floor yesterday and shattered the screen! :( I am completely and utterly lost without it. The ZipList app for your grocery list is awesome…I highly recommend that one.
I just can’t get organized.Need help in the worst way, maybe an Ipod would be the way to go.
i organize through charts on my computer.

i use it for my email
I have my firefox set up where I can access allof my organizational tools.
I carry a shopping list at all time to stay on track and not miss something during my errands.
I use evernote to keep myself organized.
Daily entry: I finally re-did our laundry room and I got rid of the cabinets that I couldn’t reach and thus just flung stuff into so they ultimately became a chaotic mess. I have pretty baskets that hold all my laundry and cleaning supplies and my laundry room looks 100% better (without the laundry in it)

I keep the bills to pay on my refergrator door so I don’t forget
We stay organized by letting my wife (who is a CPA) just do bookkeeping for a few clients from home. Money is not as important as quality of life for kids.
Thanks for the contest, I’d LOVE to win! To help keep myself organized I have switched to online bill paying through my bank. I love it! I can schedule payments for various dates during the month and then I can forget them! They will pay as needed; some are set up to pay automatically each month. Quick, easy and no stamps required! (Guess that’s why the post office is struggling financially!)
I’ve been a Twitter follower for about a year & will tweet about this shortly!
Also, I just joined your Facebook page! Thanks again!!

The iPod allows me to keep my tasks in outlook synced up. Its a real lifesaver!
One of my best tips would be to use a calendar like iCal plus a physical calendar, syncing both of those together plus syncing it with your iPhone or whatever. Also, iCal allows you to create separate calendars for home, work, blog, etc. and lets you select which ones to show in iCal. It works beautifully!
great giveaway.. thank you !!
I don’t have the app, but frozen organic veggies simplify my life, all the nutrients, none of the work.
I simply life by going vertical….like stacked letter trays on my desk to sort mail, papers, and magazines…tall bookcases to hold lots of books and photos….tiered baskets on the kitchen counter for fruits and snacks….

If I had good tips then I wouldn’t need this. LOL. One tip I have is to always go through your mail everyday and sort it by how soon you need to deal with the item.
A thing that I have started to do that really helps simplify my life is that I make some of the meals for the week on Sunday, this helps save time during the week. I do not have the app, thanks for the chance!
I try to stay organized by not leaving too many things unfinished at the end of the day. By wrapping up loose ends, the next day can start fresh again!
One thing I do to keep organized (since I tend to be forgetful) is set audio alarms to go along with my iCal appointments.
I keep my shopping list in my planner along with my coupon organizer…if it’s on my way home or to pick up the kids I can stop, shop and save!!
When all my other tips I’ve listed fail, I resort to telling my husband or my kids to remember things for me. It’s not foolproof, but it helps!
i have a special organizer on my computer

to me to keep simple is to keep structured and organized
Daily entry: this isn’t a huge tip, but it has saved us many times … we keep my daughter’s karate sparring gear in the trunk of the car. We used to bring it in the house but the number of times she’d forget to bring it with her to karate was getting ridiculous so now, we just keep it in the trunk and we don’t wind up racing home 5 minutes before class to go find it.
