What i havent figured out yet is how i can handle shared tasks e.g. tasks either me or my wife need to pick up or how we can see all home tasks in a list and either of us picks one up.

What i did now was to install “taskfreak” on my nas and put it within an iframe within our home wiki (dokuwiki, textbased). So that, when we are at home, at the top of the sidebar of our home wiki is the button “tasks”.

Next step… to synchronize that one dynamically with my other tasks… (e.g. in lotus notes (work) and gmail (all private))

Found it much more intuitive using stars. The key problem is if you don’t use multi inboxes, say because there is no off toggle yet, how do you sync your to dos with client email. Say mobile IMAP? My old label system, was great for offline reading, but there was no priority mechanism as with superstars, and once filtered under a label, they would remain there until you manually removed the label. As you say, time consuming and not dynamic.

Priority
I appreciate your star system but could not see how effective your priority mechanism was. You use, red-bang for super urgent, yellow for work and blue for home, but how can you prioritise home for example, and is red-bang super urgent for both home and work? I currently use red-bang = urgent, red = new, yellow = in progress, green-check = complete. I was going to use orange-star for personal/home, but not sure how incorporate this into my priority system.

Thanks!!!!

How I save pages like this that I want to come back to (without losing them in the bookmarks toolbar) is with a combo of Firefox (better-featured than IE), the Google toolbar, and Gmail.

The Google toolbar has a “send to->” button that uses gmail as its client to send a selection of a webpage or the entire webpage to any number of emails you wish, or even to your blog or as a text message.

Somewhere in the title bar I will put a filter name, which is the box I want the email to go to. You can copy and paste additional material, highlight, edit, write a missive, whatever, then send it off.

I’ve collected an unbelievable amount of material in several Live and Gmail boxes, which are, as we all know, wonderfully searchable.

Is this something *everybody* already knew, or is it helpful…??
