I am having a problem with Outlook.  Actually, the problem is with disorganization in my life and I want to try to use Outlook to help me sort things out.  I've got lots of stuff going on at the moment - at work, at the user groups, and in my personal life.  So I thought having all this stuff in the calendar and tasklist in Outlook would certainly help out a bit.  Then I could use some of the tips Kirk mentioned in his blog and try to keep myself on track better.

Here's the problem:

I have 2 computers - 1 work desktop and 1 laptop.  I'd like to keep the calendar in the laptop up to date with everything, but I have a tendancy to spend so much time in front of my desktop at work that I find most of my life is managed through the calendar there.  The desktop Outlook is hooked to an Exchange server, the laptop is not.  I want a way to synchronize my calendar, tasks, and notes from my desktop to my laptop.  I don't need this to be two way synchronization.  I don't want my e-mail from work "infecting" my laptop.  I don't want to have to manage multiple profiles to get this to work, and I don't want to have multiple calendars in the same view.  I want everything on one calendar.  How do I do this?

I thought that this list of helpful advice from SlipStick might help out, but I was so confused by the array of conflicting advice that I gave up.

Does anyone out there have a solution to this issue?  Thanks!
