I find that Outlook calendar reminders are sometimes helpful but often a nuisance in Cube City. As I delve deeper and deeper into my old lady years, I have to remind myself of everything from cube dweller birthdays to the smallest of tasks -- like verifying that the information on a spreadsheet is correct.
Lately, I've been snoozing calendar reminders for tasks that seem less urgent in my world. I'll snooze them for up to two weeks, which is the maximum snooze time allowed by Outlook.
If I'm not going to take a moment to verify information on a spreadsheet this week, chances are I shouldn't keep reminding myself to do it at all. It gets to the point where I snooze my reminders for so long that seeing them pop up every two weeks for a year gets really annoying. Of course, by the time a year goes by, the information I need to verify on the spreadsheet has probably changed. The outlook for completion of snoozed tasks is not looking good.
