Check out a program called Rachota. It's designed to track time spent on
tasks. While it won't link to contact information or e-mails directly, you
can do those links manually through categorizing each activity you do.
Thus, if I send an e-mail, I can enter that ("Sending E-mail," for example)
and assign it the category "Freelance: Project XXX").

I guess you could, sort of, maybe, do most of this using Outlook. Get the
2003 version if possible as it's much better for this kind of thing
(flagging emails in particular is something I now can't do with out). The
Journal can track your email activity and whatnot, and if you use the
Outlook Today list and spend sometime customizing the various views in the
Task pane, well you'll get something close to what you are looking for I'm
sure.

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.
