Working the system

I've been a GTD dropout for a few months. To be honest, most of the stuff that needs to be done at home is not the sort of thing that needs to go on a list. It's probably at a higher level than day to day work. I've continued to keep my work stuff separate. Since we have Outlook, I'm learning to use the Tasks section for things that I need to do there. After listening to the great 43folders talks with David, it dawned on me that I've never set up anything to really handle my email. They go into my Inbox and I delete them the next day. Some are filed for reference, but I'm wasting too much time looking for these things. So I've set up some folders and rules. Will likely need a few more tweaks to be really useful.

As far as Palm systems go, I'm a Memoleaf user. I spent a little time looking at both LB and Notestudio again. I really do like both programs but they are overkill for me now. I can do anything that needs to be done with Memoleaf and a few simple memos. I do like the new alarm options as well.

I've also been using Notepad++ at work as well. I don't have rights to install anything on the PC but managed to get that to install somehow. I like being able to open up tabs for different text files. I really should start doing a daily journal of what I work on each day. Would be an interesting experience. I've done some modem and router configurations today. That's the sort of thing that might be useful when your boss wants to talk to you.
