Abstract

According to the invention, a self-management system and method for organizing the key aspects of one'"'"'s life is disclosed. The system and method include a core manager configured to allow central pooling of data and services that relate to common aspects of life. The system and method also include at least one peripheral manager configured to interrelate with the core manager and help an individual focus on one area of life. The data entered into the core manager is available while is using a peripheral manager and vice-versa.
