Google Calendar

OK, so I've tried it out for a week.  I'm not totally sold.

What I like
I do like that it's online and therefore available anytime, anywhere (even if I forget my calendar at home).  I also like that you can color code your different "calendars" so each family member could have their own color, or you could color code items for importance or work/personal, etc.

What I don't like
It does have "tasks" so you can make a to-do list, but I can't find a way to make more than one list.  You can make lots of "calendars" if you know when you want to do something, but what if I need to make some lists first so I can schedule them.  I need a list of house chores, barn chores, house projects, stuff for Josh.  These don't all start out scheduled.  I need to know what all is there so I can figure out when I can get to them.

It emails you reminders about your events for the day but it seems like, if you're going to be online to check your email, you could just look at the calendar yourself.

Something else to try
Mike said he uses Outlook since they have it at his work.  He can coordinate between work and home and even sync his phone up with it (for those of you who have smart phones).  I don't know if you can color code calendar items, but you can make multiple task lists and, if you sync it up with your phone, set alarms to remind yourself of appointments and things.

I'll look around and see if there is something that can do all 3 of these things.  I must admit, I'm still a paper organizer girl at heart, but with my memory, I like the idea of having something that I can't forget at home.
