Best place to store Proejects and Someday/Maybe lists in Outlook?

[Serene]

Hi Everyone,

I followed some advice on the forum and have been configuring my outlook for GTD (had many delays so coming slowly). I have my tasks and task categories setup following the GTD outlook PDF guide, and have the folders for the email.

However I have one question - the PDF guide tells you to make the someday/maybe list and the project list a Task category in the task area with tasks being actual projects, however I have doubts as to how efficient this is??

Before I couldn't see the use of pocketthinker, but maybe this is it - wouldn't it be better to keep the actual project, someday/maybe, etc lists in an actual list program, leaving tasks to be just next action items? Is there any advantange to making your project list a "task item list"?

Tell me if I'm not being clear here...
