How do you keep track of appointments?

[Chris Morrell]

I'm just curious how most of you guys keep track of appointments? Do you have a paper calendar? Use excel? Outlook? Google calendar?

Cheers,

[Michael Larson]

Outlook for me Chris

Added: I also have a phone/PDA when I'm on the road that syncs with my desktop when I get home.

I use a desktop calendar from office max.

I also keep a journal/calendar in my car so I can check if someone calls and I am away from my office.

I use palm desktop, even if I didn't have a palm device, I would still use it.

I use a regular day planner, but also put appointments on my Ipaq that has my inspection software on it. That way I have 2 copies.

Google calendar for the office, and Day Minder for on the road.

I especially like the Google calendar, because it can be shared with other Google calendar users all over. They don't have to have access to your comp.

I have used ACT, for well over 10 years, great program and flexible as well.

Old school-date book. Sometimes I take an appointment on a small notebook I keep in my pocket, if I'm in an attic. Answer your phone. Don't rely on people leaving a message.

Day Planner

Used to use a Treo but dropped it too many times. Used to use Outlook, but was not very disciplined. So now I strictly use a day planner that stays in the office and in the truck with me.

That's why I'm purchasing a "man purse"

[Doug Edwards]

A cheap book style calender from the dollar store that sits on my desk next to the phone and I run schedule sheets for each appointment with all the client information. Those are on a clipboard next to the cheap calender. At the end of the year (after taxes are done) the calender get closed up, tossed into the file box with all that years report files and goes into storage, hopefully never to be seen again.

I currently use Outlook - comp at home and ppc in the field. Recently purchased ACT and am hoping that I can get it to make some of my processes more streamline and reduce some paperwork with it.

Are you developing a schedule / accounts program?
