If you're like me, I'm always writing to-do lists or little reminders all of the time. Just yesterday I called my home phone to leave a message for myself to pick up medicine for one of my dogs. The problem with Post-it notes or any other type of paper note is that I forget where I put them or they get lost before I've completed my list. Since I am an email-checking addict, why not send reminders via email (which I've done before too)? There are some great websites that will send you birthday, appointment, even get your laundry out of the dryer reminders via email or even text message. You can set up when you want to receive the reminder too... that way it doesn't get lost in your inbox. You can check them out a couple of sites that offer this service for yourself at Memo To Me, Email Addresses , or I Want Sandy.
