In a previous post I talked about how easy it is to remember birthdays using the Palm z22. Then I got to thinking, if a loved one happens to mention something that could make a great birthday gift, how do I use my z22 as a gift memory jogger.
And then it hit me, there are two methods I could use. The first is easy, simply attach a note to the contact. But, this method suffers in that if I have long notes about my contact, I would have to read everything to find my gift idea.
The second approach would be better, and this involves renaming one of the custom fields so it reads 'gift idea'. Renamig a custom field is easy, just goto options in the menu, select rename custom field, and overwrite the existing field name.
Now all I have to do is complete this field when they mention something, or if I'm out and notice something I think would be perfect.

I use the Memo section to create lists and any other type of information storage I might want to access. For example: Create a New Memo and make the first line "Gift List". You can then add in people's names below whenever you choose along with the gift you want to be able to remember.
Or maybe you see something interesting in a store and think it would make a great gift but not sure who you would give it to. Make a Memo titled "Someday/Maybe - gifts" or another more specific titled "Someday Maybe - Birthday gifts", you decide.
I got this methodology from David Allen, the author of the book, "Getting things done". You might want to check it out. I manage my life using my Z22 and Palm Desktop. Check out www.davidco.com for more info.
Anyway, thought this might be of interest and could possibly give you some ideas.
