Task List

[iolair]

What do you guys prefer for keeping up with task lists and to-do lists - electronic, like Outlook, or paper and pen? iPad? PDA? Smartphone? Just curious as to what works best for you.

What does this have to do with Windows Server 2003?

Silly me. I just figured that people who admin Windows Server 2003 had a way to keep themselves and their tasks organized. I was wondering if those with lots of experience had tried and true methods of keeping up with all they have to do. Whether that was paper, electronically, smartphone was what I was hoping they'd tell me. I'll go away now.

Ah. So you're asking based on Windows 2003 focused tasks and lists.

I don't use paper for anything. Ever. I do use Outlook tasks with reminders for trivial tasks.

For routine tasks, I automate nearly everything when possible.

For larger tasks, such as those around a specific project, I use SharePoint lists and MS Project files.

Thank you. I'm trying to get paperless here, but people keep sending me printouts. And I've bought them all nice big LCD screens to read from.....

MS Project looks interesting. I must check that out. I've been using a template in Excel for that. Project looks much better.

Yeah, it all depends on the scope of what tasks you need to do. I'm all for automating the tasks so that they don't require intervention (backups, updates, etc.).

SharePoint and InfoPath are awesome for some things.
