How can I have daily "to-do" lists that are separate from Tasks? For
example, I have a universe of many "live" Tasks and want daily to-do lists to
focus my daily work that incorporate certain Tasks I select as well as
non-Task events (like personal items). I can't/shouldn't work on all Taks
every day. Thanks.
 
are you setting start or due dates when you create tasks? if not, drag the
ones you plan on working on to the calendar and print out a daily calendar.

Diane, I am setting Start Dates so the drage and drop method doesnlt appear applicable.

Also I want the "To Do List" to "incorporate certain Tasks I select as well
as non-Task events (like personal items)."

I suppose I could make a Calendar Item for each Day as an All Day Item and
list my To-Do items there; seems akward, but I'll try it.

I was hoping for the existence of a slick little add-in.

Thanks a lot for your help; it was really nice to get a cogent response so
fast.

You can make the TaskPad work as it would in a paper diary i.e.. the
meetings for the day and the To Dos for the day show side by side. In this
method you can schedule your future work without having to clutter up your
Calendar with things to do.

Use Start date as the date you want to get started on each Task. Set the
TaskPad view - View, TaskPad View | Active tasks for selected days. Each
day that you look at your TaskPad, you will see Tasks which have a Start
Date of today or earlier. So if I want to call you in 3 weeks time, I make
a Task with a Start date of 3 weeks ahead.
