Since switching to a mac, I use Entourage (part of MS Office) to do the things Trent described. I use my computer nearly everyday so this works for me. On a few occassions I have printed out pages. I love the ability to label things as family, work, school, and so on. I concur. Since switching to a mac, I use Entourage (part of MS Office) to do the things Trent described.

I have several all over my desktop to remind me of things I need to do. It's nice because it's a personal computer, but I would use my method if it were a shared environment.

One other thing that I think is quite beneficial is using Outlook (or another calendar program) with reminders. We list all birthdays, holidays, events, etc. on our main community (household) calendar. Then, for each appointment or event, we'll get a reminder notice of action. If using tasks and mail attached to something like Outlook, it is also possible to integrate reminder for things that need to be done. Many events are recurring too -- and it save time and is invariably more accurate for us to track systematically. And -- we save on not having to buy a big appointment book. Of course, with so much going on in our household, we do print out a calendar that we attach to our white board of information that is attached to our kitchen wall.
