I would like to see a feature in the Outlook Calendar that allows me to
create a "reminder" instead of a full-blown "appointment". Just a simple
insert with:

Date:
Time:
Message to be displayed:

… and maybe some feature to specify recurrence. There are many times I just
want to be reminded to call someone back, check for a website update, submit
a timecard, etc. but I don't want to take the time to create an appointment
specifying start and stop time, importance, busy/free, location, etc. I guess
it could be considered an “appointment-lite” if you will.

Thanks!

They sound like things to do - that would suggest a Task to me. Tasks are
very good for work you must do in the future, like call someone, chase
something up etc.
