Personal Information Management is the study of how people store and
retrieve data for their purposes. Traditionally the data is stored in applications like calendars, todo-lists, address books, etc... These applications or PIM-tools do not take the spatial character of much of the information into account. But space, just as time plays a major role in the way we organize and utilize personal information.
In this paper we present ongoing research in which we try to identify a proper formalism for integrating space into PIM-tools. We therefore attempt to model an ordinary task from daily life experience and expect to find answers to the question of how and what to integrate into a system to move from a regular PIM-tool to a spatial-PIM.
