Before continuing with The System, I find it necessary to take a step back and define the overarching Rules, Methods and Framework.
The System
April 28, 2009 By 1 Comment
After acquiring a MacBook Pro, and basking in its glow, I became motivated to re-evaluate my overall system for managing my life. I began to conceptulize an all encompassing master system some time ago under the massively creative name Life 2.0. I invite you to take a journey with me towards … drum roll please … Life 3.0!

Also, when you assign due dates to Tasks in Outlook you can have them show up on your desktop client calendar at the bottom.
The negative to this method is that you may have many items that are past due that you wish to move to another date. My Google-Fu must have been busted, because I could not find out how to do this, so I resorted to manually changing each one.
Today, I finally figured it out! And being the nice guy I am, the fruits of my labor are now available to all.
