Then go into Control Panel and create a scheduled job - and when you have to specify what program you want to run, browse to the reminder.txt file and select it. Then schedule it for the time you want the reminder.Then when the relevant time comes around, up pops Notepad with the reminder. Assumes you PC will be on at that time of course!

I've been printing on the back of things for a while now. Then I realized that I didn't really have to buy that much paper at all. My local public library has plenty of paper that get's printed on by mistake by their patrons using the public access computers. When I go in, they'll give me a stack of hundreds of sheets. Paper that for example, has only a website header printed on it, or 20 abandoned pages of research on the ming dynasty. As long as I don't need to print on a fresh sheet of paper, I use library leftovers. This is a great idea. I’ve been printing on the back of things for a while now.
