Outlook Tasks

Is there any info or recommendations for getting the most productivity/time/task management out of Outlook, specifically the Tasks functionality?

I recently got a new position at work and my productivity/time/task management needs have just increased dramatically. Unfortunatly I don't think I have the bandwidth now to implement something as complex as GTD system, however I wanted to use the tools currently available to me now(Outlook) in the best way possible.

Thanks in advance. joe

Fingers crossed that I wasn’t the only person who had to look up who Carl Mannerheim was. My Finnish history is, let us say, uneven.

Cool handwriting.

iGTD2 public Alpha is out

Subject says it all, get it from http://www.igtd.pl/iGTD/iGTD2/index.html

This is definitely alpha software, nothing for real use. But what it shows looks absolutely fantastic to me. It comes with a Leopard'ish interface (in fact, the iGTD 2 alpha runs only on Leopard!).

With V 2.0, iGTD will be no plain GTD implementation anymore. So if you think, DA is the only one to know and following exactly his book is the only way to success, don't read further. iGTD will probably be not for you, you'd better stick with Midnight Inbox or OmniFocus.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
