Web Access - Looking for Alternative Way to Categorize Tasks

H

I just went through the whole process of organizing my tasks into
categories. My computer at work is the main computer I organize and
schedule everything on, then I need access away from the office
through MS Outlook Web Access to view the tasks that need to be acted
upon. For instance, I have a category of tasks associated with
errands, another associated with phone calls, etc. I know I can't
assign the tasks from MS Outlook Web Access and there are other
limitations, but that's O.K. as long as when I'm working from home I
can see them in some grouped form.

When I view the tasks online at Microsoft Office Web Access, the
categories aren't there so I have just 7 pages of tasks - including
recurring tasks that I've just done and aren't due yet. To solve
this, I decided to put the tasks into subfolders. I loved this
system so much! When I viewed the tasks online, I could find my tasks
that could be acted upon. When I thought of a task at home that
needed to be added, I could go online and create it and put it into
the correct task folder for my system.

Then I realized tasks can't be assigned and you can't get any
reminders or anything unless they are in the main task folder.

Is there another way to categorize these tasks that will show up in a
usable format on the web? I don't want to rename them by category
because these tasks move through a system of categories until
completion. What needs a phone call today, needs a meeting tomorrow.
I don't want to have to organize by date either, since many of my
tasks are what will need to be done eventually after other tasks are
completed.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.
