Outlook and my Treo (running Palm)
GTD_Randy | Apr 20 2006
Has anyone implemented a good process for using a Treo linked to a company Outlook server? I am new at GTD and trying to set it up right from the start. My current plan is to use the Outlook for company emails and contacts. The emails will collect in my inbox. If email has no actionable task I will If the task is longer than 2min I will create a Palm task with a catagory set by context (@work, @home, @Home office, @Work office, @Waiting etc.). details of the task will be in the notes of the task. The email I will move to @Actions on the Outlook server (palm accessible) for reference not tracking. If it has more than one task I will create a project by making a Palm task titled the name of the project and catagorizing it as +Projects. Tasks for the project will be listed in the notes of the task and carried out as Palm tasks catagorized by context every few days as the need arises. The email I will move to @Actions on the Outlook server (palm accessible) for reference not tracking. Any suggestions? Also is there any software to link palm tasks to stored notes either on the palm memos section or on a memory card? Thanks for the help. 6 Comments

At my old company, our CFO had a Palm Treo and he was syncing to our Exchange Server just fine. It was a piece of software that was on the CD (It was from Verizon). Basically, you setup a web account and then you left the outlook open and on the network AT ALL TIMES. When a piece of mail hit his Inbox in Outlook, it was redirected to his Treo. It is not the ideal solution, but it is a start. The people at Good Technology have a solution setup with Palm. So you may want to look into that. Michael » POSTED IN:
