[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1313214, member: 214663"] Yikes you've a lot of stuff there and you would need a management app to organise them! I suggest that you de-clutter and go with say two.... iCal as your default and Reminders (which I am impressed with) is bolted on to it but you may not need even that. I know that Entourage used to sync with iCal but to be honest you'll be forever looking at two calendars ?! Perhaps you may want to reappraise your methods. In the old days before computers when I was in sales we used to use a daybook/brought forward system. It worked on the principle that anything that you didn't complete in your daybook (which was a diary or an A4 ledger feint ruled or similar) got carried over into the next day when you started work the next day. You physically wrote the unfinished stuff into the current day or beyond. The way I use I iCal is to put anything and everything in there that is relevant (appts, to do's, mileages,home,targets etc because you cannot separate work from life) and just drag incomplete stuff into the next day or beyond. Other stuff you have in there in the future will sit there until you come to it. It makes you focus on closing your day off and beginning a new one. Apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs but if you operate with several layers of task and time management you may spend too much time managing that system than actually 'doing the do'. [/QUOTE]
