Some excellent ideas
thanks

SO, as I understand this, the only next actions that appear in Outlook are stand-alone tasks. Beyond that you flag projects to appear in outlook and then assign a R&R context to them and maintain those project next actions on the appropriate page in Onenote. Is that correct?
Also, I assume those stand-alone NA's are not assigned any context??
Where do you keep Someday tasks?
Thanks!

You have been tagged for The Personal Development List. (See my site for details), I'd love for you to participate.

@Craig: I have only 3 contexts that I work with @Home @Work and @Out (I think contexts could be a whole new discussion itself). The vast majority of work I do is @Home - where I always have access to a computer running OneNote, so with these NAs I just use a onenote flag and manage them on the appropriate onenote page as you suggest.
For @work & @Out I will add an outlook flag to these and apply either an @work r @out catagory in outlook. This allows me to sync these tasks onto my windows mobile phone and have them with me when I need them.
Someday / may be are kept in a section of onenote.

Thanks for the tag. I'll try and track down your site via google as you've left no details. Hope to post soon

Thanks for the tip Gina, in the past I would just create a calendar item for the task. This is much more efficient!

This is great. I posted a bit of a follow-up and an extension of this on my blog.

This was an interesting read. People are always looking for the next best task management app to come along, whether it be for PC, PDA, whatever.

I like the idea of maximizing the potential of software most people have available already, instead of the tedious process of shopping for new apps.

@Gina - Thanks for the link.
@mellisa - Thanks
@Marius - I've looked at your ideas on this, especially like the filtering of the task pad you have set up.
@jonnyd - I'm with you there, my basic premise is that there is not and never will be a perfect GTD system, peoples desire to tinker will always be there. I decided to stop looking, stick with what I had and get a system working for me. It may not be perfect, but the time spent doing rather than trying the latest app, makes it work.

Great post. I am a big fan of outlook and oneNote.

I have done something similar and posted about it here, but this gives me some more ideas. Thanks.
