Been working on my system and have used the outlook setup guide. Have some questions that I'd like to get some thoughts on from more experienced users (I'm a newbie).
I currently have 215 recurring ticklers – have them as outlook tasks by context (@home, @call, @computer) – should they all be under one category like ticklers? These are things like – pay sales tax by 20[SUP]th[/SUP] of the month, pay estimated taxes, clean out the vacuum filter, change air filters, pay payroll liabilities, call to schedule annual physical, call carpet cleaning company (twice a year), arrange window cleaning. Or keep them by context/category with due dates.
Should reference material be in tasks or notes? I have both as well as a reference folder under the inbox so I’m looking for stuff in 3 different places within outlook.
Should someday maybe be tasks with a category/context of someday maybe assigned to them or under notes as one big long list.
How to keep up with blogging/content repackaging info. I receive emails with content I'd like to share/repackage and send out to my clients. how do I keep track of all that data and the links? I have a folder named Content to Share where I can drag the emails, but then I have a hard time finding content I'm looking for and then also knowing which things I have used. Should I create a task for reference and then list all the links in the notes section of the task or create an outlook note and then list them out? I just don't know what would work best.
I know that there is no right or wrong way to do all this. I just wanted to get some input so maybe it will become clear to me what would work best for my situation. Thanks!
