OT: Does anyone know of any Calendar program for the perpetually disorganized?

Sometimes I use Microsoft Outlook to keep track of deadlines, appointments, different tasks etc for work, but usually I just write things down using a pen on an actual Calendar.

Organization can be so over rated
Tasks

If we can not remember it - it could not have never been that important anyway

I run the full spectrum of completely disorganized down to managing my time down to the nearest 10 minutes. I don't like either end of the spectrum. I have tried numerous computer software over the years with varying degrees of success, but I can tell you that the best way that I have found to manage my time/todo's/appointments is with a small (and I do keep it small) stack of 3x5 cards in my back pocket clipped together. As new items come in, I write them down, and as old ones are completed, I either trash them or keep them in a pile for future reference if anything important is written on them; filed by date. Each day, I start a new card, with the date on the top, and carry over any incomplete things from previous days. I have another card with periodic things (meetings, personal todo's like car oil changes, etc.)

I used to think that I could do everything on the computer, but my home and work lifestyle is such that I am not always in front of one. It is surprisingly simple and fast. Especially if you develop your own shorthand system.

Well, that works for me, anyway.

You didnt mention the OS. I use "Calendar" on Linux. I use Notepad on Windows with a text file called ToDoList.txt
