I use a combination of paper (calendar, notebook, 3x5 cards, lots of file folders) and a Palm Pilot (handy for audible alerts). To make this on-topic, I'll mention that there are several tools that will let you synch your Palm to your Linux desktop. Right now I'm using kpilot which meets my needs. When my Palm dies I'll probably replace it with a Linux-based handheld. I hear Nokia has something good along those lines. Anyone else know better? I wouldn't call myself a perfectionist but I have the same problem you do--so much to do, so little time! -- trammell at el-swifto.com 9EC7 BC6D E688 A184 9F58 FD4C 2C12 CC14 8ABA 36F5 Twin Cities Linux Users Group (TCLUG) Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota
