If you want to reduce the time needed for installing your OS you can use nLite addons to create your own bootable image of Windows.
Addons are third-party applications developed by other producers than the nLite developers, designed to be included in nLite as addons. They are specially customized so that they can be added to nLite in order to create a preinstall image of Windows to ease a user's work when reinstalling Window on their computer.
You just add these addons, create your image and when you reinstall your Windows all your favorite programs will be there just like they were before. It's a fast and easy way to keep a backup especially if you have a lot of programs installed on your computer.

Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of Frank’s frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
nLite is a GUI that will enable you to permanently remove Windows components by your choice.
You can add a series of addons to this application so it best fits your needs and desires.
