Rob,

Thanks for this excellent post. I've started to use OneNote both on my tablet & my office desktop. As I access a shared onenote file they sync as soon as I connect to my office LAN. No problem till now. I also tag items in onenote with outlook tasks. Though these tasks appear on the other machine I get to see the message "Task not yet found in the outlook, You cannot edit tasks deleted from outlook or created by other users" there by stopping me from editing those tasks on the other machines. How do you think that I can completely keep the onenote files (inturn the outlook) synchronized.

Regards,
Chirag

are you still happy with this setup or have you evolved it or implemented any other programs? I'm getting ready to set something up and want to be aware of the pitfalls and sticky points or whatever before I decide which way to go.

the "bubbles" are nothing special. They are just 15 minute appoinments running one after another in a 1 hour time slot, just the way Outlook 2007 lays them out

What are those "bubble" things on the calendar, attached to calendar items? For example, the last picture on the upper left-hand corner, there's those calendar items stringed together, how do I make those?

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.

@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.

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.

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

@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.

2007-08-26T14:03:00.000+01:00

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!
