or you could use a task. Outlook is not an alarm clock - it has no way to
set a reminder that is not attached to an item.

There seems to be no easy way to set a simple reminder for myself. The
best
I've found is to set up an appointment, set it to 0
minutes/personal/private/time free. Am I missing something, or is this a
big
hole in outlook?
