Thanks PeterW.

It's not so much about having a single calendar, but more so having an organised calendar. On my tablet, for example, I can see multiple calendars all at once, so having multiples isn't so bad.

The main concern I have is getting double ups of tasks reminders and so on. I firmly believe in not using the calendar for tasks other than reminders and "What's on today" lists of tasks, similar to the way Outlook shows you the list of today's due tasks when you open the day view. Having some sort of integration like that would be great - without having to worry about whether adding it will result in in synching properly... Know what I mean?

HI all,

I am using the following:
- Win 7 with office 2010 (and Outlook-company exchange server with activesync to the iphone). I don't use Outlook tasks (that's what ToodleDo is for!)
- iPhone 4
- ANdroid tablet (Motorola Xoom)-using Google Calendar and synching Exchange calendar as well
- Another Win 7 laptop

I'm using ToodleDo for iOS on the iphone, web interface on Windows and I'll probably go with UTDL or PI on the Android.

My question is about calendars. How do you get all the calendars working together? I use Outlook for meetings both work and personal (via iphone or Outlook) and I'd like the ToodleDo tasks to appear in the calendar. Obviously tasks aren't as hard-lined as meetings, but if a task is due today and has a reminder set, it should appear in my calendar - even if it's at midnight since there's no time attached to it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this question, and I know there's plenty of posts about this but not exactly the same question. My (thought of) solution is to use the ical as the definitive, since that should synch to Exchange, and synch the tablet to the exchange calendar as well. Or should I use google calendar as the source of truth... Interested in hearing from others with the same type of setup.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long winded question! I only just subscribed but want to get this right before trusting my life to this...

Thanks cabbage and Dave.

I will get the braindump onto paper as a starting point for sure.

DO you guys use Outlook with ToodleDo, or just ToodleDo on its own?

If you're using Windows 7, the built-in snipping tool is free and is really quick to use.

I've read a lot about all the different tools available for managing tasks, lists and so on. And RTM cops a lot for not doing subtasks. Whilst TD cops a bad rap (at least initially in reviews) for its interface. And I'm wondering "Why wouldn't they put this feature in or that feature? There must be a good reason for it" and maybe others have found ways to work without actually *needing* subtasks in the first place.

I'm trying to pick a tool (I've attempted GTD before, but wasn't disciplined enough back then...), and it's between RTM and ToodleDo, to help bring my life under control. I have several projects for clients at the same time (IT Consulting) and several internal and personal projects at once, along with wanting to know what I have to do every day and what to do when I have a spare few minutes here and there.

I know the GTD methodology doesn't spell out what you actually need in a task management tool, so maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. My own way of doing projects is to break them into subtasks because that's the traditional way of doing it.

Oh, I must also mention - I am afflicted with Asperger's. So right now I'm obsessing with ensuring that whatever tool I'm picking is the right one (sorry, can't help that, I know I should work the methodology first, then pick the tool, but I can't work that way). So I don't necessarily need to stick with GTD, but I need structure, and I *need* a system that I can stick with religiously, because focus is a problem for me.

How do people out there manage projects as well as the day to do with this tool? Do you think that what I'm asking is possible? I could have 10 different things (new projects etc) thrown at me in any one day which I'll manage, plus communication with clients, plus managing staff, plus a couple of projects I'm actually doing myself all at the same time, and I want to ensure that the tool I pick is the right one rather than testing every single one. I realise there's an element of testing at the onset though.

Another thing - my general work environment is - Win laptop with Outlook 2010 and Exchange, Android tablet and iphone. I realise there's clients to cover the portable devices, but I need something that can integrate calendars from all of the above.

Thanks in advance for any advice or tips!
