I have a personal calendar I created to keep track of my diet and exercise
and daily goals. I would love a way to be able to show when I finished
something. Also, I wish I could stick a "sticky" note to a certain page or
item to help me remember any thoughts I had about that item. Franklin Covey
has a daily notes section, but I can't stick this to certain items on my
calendar so it doesn't always alert me well.

Flag the calendar items and then mark the flag Complete when you're done
with the something.

Add some text to the Notes field of the appointments.

I don't find a flag that works with calendar items (versus tasks or emails).
Can you put repeating task items in calendar? I do use the notes, I guess I
like them glaring at me.

It's not in the UI generally but you can add and display flags for
appointment items in a table view of the calendar folder. Right click on the
column header row and select Field Chooser. In the drop-down select All Mail
Fields. Grab the Flag Status field and drag it to the column header row
where you want it. Then you can right-click on that column and select a flag
to add to an appointment.
