I use iCal for most items tied to a specific date -- appointments, meetings, birthdays, anniversaries, library books due dates, classes, etc. Items not tied to a specific date go in OF.

Repeating household chores, even ones that are tied to a specific date, go in OF on a checklist. I do that to keep from cluttering up the calendar.

The only exception is the exceptions in the routine. For example, trash pickup at my house occurs twice a week. I don't put that on my calendar. However, *no* trash pickup occurs on some, but not all holidays. I put those exceptions on the calendar.
