Planning tool

Hi all,

Macbook pro and snow leopard, working on several projects in parallel, (i.e. normal distribution), and looking to improve my planning and goal setting.

Can anyone recommend on FULLY LEGAL and free or low cost soft with which I can set goals for 3 years from now and at the same time, nail down next week's
agenda?
Any other tip is highly appreciated.
Thanks for the attention, g

Here are a few task management apps that I've heard generally good things about:

• iGTD - Free (discontinued, creator now works with Things team)
• Things - $50
• OmniFocus - $80
• The Hit List - $50 (still in Beta)

Or, more simply, you already have iCal.
What are its shortcomings for what you want to do?

Perhaps something like OpenProj, open source and free.
