When using a Palm or other personal information management system…

Organise tasks by context

I carry a Palm with me almost all the time, and arrange my tasks in the
following categories:

• @Agendas – Issues to discuss with people when I speak with them next
• @Anywhere – Tasks that can be done anywhere
• @Computer – At my laptop. This may also be online.
• @Home – Around my home
• @Karate – At one of my karate training venues
• @Road – While travelling or out and about, such as picking up some
  salmon for sushi tonight
• @Uni – At University (I am in my final year of an MBA)
• Calls – People to phone
• Project – Some basic Project outlines. My detailed projects are stored
  in Shadow or in MemoPad
• Waiting – Waiting for somebody else to do something with.

Routines

• Anytime tasksReview projects and ideas, and put them into memos, and ticklers, due
  dates and milestones, and put them into datebook
• End of dayUpdate todo’s from Projects: memo->todo; Update “today”
  memo (or, in my case, datebook/todo); HappyOMeter (record daily highlights);
  Next todo for each category. Todo should record what should be done
  asap.
