Damian thanks for finding the link to the ebook! Dave you are right you can't sync notes via Exchange, which is a pain. However if you sync directly to Outlook they do still sync. Honestly I have not looked for a app to sync the notes, but it would be very nice. Been offline for a week, which is why there have been no replies.

One thing interesting is that the Notes don't sync over exchange anymore, which is a big pain. Using the notes field in Tasks seems to be a way around this...but nowhere as nice as pure Notes. When Michael pops notes on his laptop (not as a Task) is there a Quick app that you can do this with that acts like a single piece of paper [one note per page] type thing? Good show.

Michael makes reference to a GTD Outlook eBook. Is possible to post a link to where this can be obtained from? I found the link below useful to help customise Outlook to manage projects. Best of all it's free: http://home.comcast.net/~whkratz/id3.htm Keep up the good work. Look forward to the next cast. Damian Good podcast with useful hints and tips.

One tip on Gmail though.. http://lifehacker.com/software/gmail/hack-attack-become-a-gmail-master-161399.php Set up a label/filter combination to filter your mail so that it doesn't stay in the Gmail "Inbox." One of you mentioned that Gmail doesn't have folders, so I thought I'd point that out.

I will check out JelloGTD, not heard of it before thanks for the tip. Miriam, np, the symbols are a Dave Allen come Des Paroz thing that I have manipulated a bit for my own needs.

Thanks Michael for your tips. I need to listen to it again because not all of it sunk in properly but I've already pinched the symbols to categorise notes that have been captured during the day.
