Thanks! Really, you don't use ticklers? That's one of the things I use most! I could probably just as easily put things in my calendar (and sometimes do) but having it all in the TW is handy. Examples are things like:
- Every month at work I need to refresh my wifi password. I set up a tickler to remind me, and the tickler contains a link to the webpage to do so. Click & go! - A tickler fires about a week prior to birthdays, holidays, etc to remind me to get gifts, cards, etc - There are some tasks that I have to do quarterly so I created a tickler for those (and added a "quarterly" button alongside the weekly, fortnightly, monthly, yearly buttons) - Reminders for appointments, meetings, etc -- my "Ticklers requiring action" and "Upcoming ticklers (next 7 days)" lists are my most-used lists of my dashboard As I said, I could put these in my calendar but having them in my dashboard along with actions etc is very handy. (I've also customized the dashboards somewhat). What I *can't* do with my calendar is click a button in the tickler and turn it into an action item. E.g. a birthday reminder tickler fires and I turn it into an errand action to get a card. Another thing that my calendar doesn't do is "remember" that I've performed the required task -- if I click the "+m" (or whatever) button in a tickler after I've performed the task then it disappears until it's due again. A reminder in a calendar however sometimes leaves me wondering "Did I do that already?" Cheers!
