TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Like you, I prefer to stay away from Microsoft. Having said that, the new Outlook 2007 has advanced features that might do what you want. You can get a preview on microsoft's web site if you have the patience to dig through it. You can also check out places like http://www.newhorizons.com/content/student.aspx?id=37 (I think the webinars are free).

Subject: Your To-Do List
What do you use to handle your ongoing to-do list? I want to find a
program that does these things:
1. Relates the list to a daily calendar. Ideally, I'd like to have this
calendar start up automatically, so as soon as I log in, it opens and
displays the current day's list.
2. Carries forward all tasks from the previous day that I haven't marked
as complete.
3. Keeps a historic record of each day's tasks, so I can see what I was
doing a year and a day ago if I want.
4. Enables me to print out the to-do lists for a range of days (or months).
5. In the best of all possible worlds, enables me to link to my address
book, the emails I've received and sent for a particular day, and notes
(for a day, a task, whatever).
I've been using an elderly copy of Mozilla, a relic of my desire to give
Microsoft a wide berth. At this point, I'm desperate to get my calendar
and tasks coordinated, and I'll bow to Microsoft if Outlook or some
other product is the best for the purpose. (I will say that I tried to
use the Outlook feature at my last job and found it odd. Hard to read,
obscure procedures. But maybe I just didn't learn it well enough.)
I have GOT to get my s--t together. Thanks for all help.
