I use MS Outlook and a Date book only for officiating assignments.

I get games from internet sources, but I always keep those games in another place just in case something gets lost or stops working.

Peace

Treo

I keep my entire calendar on my treo; when an assignor calls, i can put them on speaker and check my calendar. Plus my cell is my only #, so i carry it with me everywhere, so i always have my assignments with me. i used to use a separate palm pilot but this is so much easier.

Same here except for the Treo - I use my Dell Axim . . . our local board also has a website that allows us to enter closed dates. There's the ability for someone to search a specific date for open officials. Pretty cool. Unfortunately, everyone (like me) doesn't keep every game on the site . . . but I do keep everything on my pocket pc.

What he said. Exactly what he said. That's scarey. Are you me?

Just went to the treo 700p and its working great! Had 4 conversations with conference assignors in last 2 days. I like the smooth interfacing of information and technology without multiple

Also, (as a backup) I sync treo with my Mac daily AND each 2 weeks I print out remainder of my schedule and store a copy in my vehicle and a copy in my travel bag.

As for the mileage and expenses aspect, I just diary entry thru Palm Desktop or directly into Treo for each assignment the respective data (including if I did or didn't get paid on site, when I received payment, mileage, expenses,etc), and at end of year I compile into a spreadsheet for computation.

iCal

I use iCal on my Mac. It can be synced to any other Mac around, or I can look at my schedule anytime online. I can also have my calendar/contacts transferred to my iPod so I have it there as well. Very easy to do.

What do you use to keep track of all your assignments?


I have a palm Zire that i use that syncs with outlook on my pc, and I also have a date book on my RazR phone. I am getting to many different places to store dates. Looking for a nice single system.
I put the dates and times in my Calander on my computer at work and at home and then sync my Treo 700 with my home computer. Works great!
