Outlook Daily diary - advice please?

[Gary Read]

I'd like to write a daily diary - primarily to make a record of occurances
at work - but also a personal diary. Can anyone recommend a way of doing
this? Ideally I could categorise the entires and sync it with my PocketPC.

Many thanks in advance,

Ted

You could use Journal in Outlook (New>Journal Entry), which can be
categorized. The only way I know to sync that with your PPC is to use Pocket
Informant and Journal Sync, which allows you to keep the categories, and to
edit/create the entries on the PPC too.

The alternative would be to use notes, but you'll lose categories.

Or, don't use Outlook at all, but instead use a standalone notes app or even
Word.

What about a daily appt, that tags the time as "Free" (so as not to
block out your schedule).

Then you acan add notes int hat appt,and it would sync, to your PPC,
and be tied to the given day.

I do this. Not perfect, but not bad. now it may be a pain if you wnat
ot print out all entries as one big diary.

oh, and although I use the Franklin Covey add on (which includes a
"Daily Recod Of events" function) I like this option instead cause

1) it syncs with my Blackberry and therefore I can add to it on the
road and have those changes sync

2) It allows mw to use fonts and rich input (images, attachments), etc
(the Franklin record only allow straight text)

3) If/when i cease to use the Franklin add in, this will be easier to
retain/port to new account or application

My opinion is that Outlook isn't well-suited to that. You could always use
Notepad or any editor you wish and keep the file in the PDA My Documents
folder so that it's always synced with the PDA.
