Well - saying "no" more often would help, but it would tend to cut into making
some $$$ to spend on this Linux habit! 8-). I know what you mean, tho.

Yes - I do use a daytimer/calender & a derived pad of paper with a ToDo. And a
modest number of lists glued/taped/tacked up around the house to help out the
other lists. Still not quite in the right  ballpark, or I'm actually too
intellectually/emotionally crippled to ever become organized (a possiblity).

One use I easily see for such software is printing the day's ToDo to clip into
the DayTimer. Under Linux, one obvious extension would be to link into a pager
for appointments, but that would be simply gravy.

Truely, however, about half the things that I'm dropping at the moment occur or
should be done at or near the computer anyway.

Thanks for the imput tho.

To be who one is, is not to be someone else.
