Memo Categories

[jklenoff]

What categories does everyone use in order to organize their office memos (Preferably using MS Outlook, but any insight into how your organize with any software is helpful)? I am perfectly clear on organizing categories for tasks, just not for memos.

I only have about 16 memos right now, so I don't see the point in defining categories.

Can you explain how many memos you have and how you use them... that might help with offering category suggestions...

I have the following:

@Quick - for reference to stuff I need frequently and quickly, such as commonly used phone numbers, etc.

Lists - for various lists such as books to read, places to visit, things to maybe buy, etc.

Quotes - quotables...

Reference - General reference

plus one for each of my focus areas.
