Default Separate Reminders?

A users asked me if there's any way to separate calendar reminders from his
other reminders. Kind of a weird question, I realize, but thought it was
worth asking. He's deluged with reminders about stuff to do (Task Reminders
and Email Reminders) and therefore misses his 'where to be' reminders
(Calendar Reminders).

My first thought is to have him use flags for his e-mails and tasks, then
his reminders will only be for his calendar. Do you have any other advice?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Default Separate Reminders?

Stop managing work to do using interruptions (aka reminders). Use the
TaskPad as list of things to do on specific days. Set it to Active Tasks
for Selected Days and use Start Date as the date you want to know to get
started and Due date for the one that makes it go Red.

This approach works a treat.
