Keeping track of projects
awe | Feb 5 2007
Hi everybody, I'm new here, so I hope I'm in the right forum. I've got the following problem: I'm a student in audio engineering and after my diploma I want to go to film school. So right now, I'm pretty busy with creative projects. In fact, I'm kinda overloaded; I've got school projects and papers, commissions, and a whole lot of my own projects that I have to complete in order to qualify for film school. So it's a pretty inmanageable mix... So what I need, basically, is a system to keep track of all my current projects, i.e. what I have to do on which project, the progress and, if available, a deadline. I don't want any fancy applications, all I'm working with is iCal and my Palm. I've found that the Memos in Palm are a good starting point, but I'm having a little trouble organising it all. Anybody got ideas? I'd appreciate it. Alex 9 Comments

I have gotten around the Palm category limitation by using DB6 icons as a kind of sub-category or extra category. That lets me use the Palm limit for "big" categories like "Household" and "Writing" and "Lectures" and then by adding in icons I can have a huge selection for projects. A red ball for one class, a green ball for another, a blue pencil icon for drafts, a pen-nib icon for final draft for review, etc. I often used saved views in DB6 to easily sort through the ones I use all the time, but it is simple to make them up as I go too. Not exactly perfect, but it does help. emkay » POSTED IN:
