Is There Something You Must Remember To Do?

Often times when I am done working for the day, there is something which I absolutely have to do the next day. When this happens, there are several methods I use to make sure I remember to do something. Here is a quick list of the methods I use:

  • Put a note on my keyboard.
  • Open Notepad and enter the message for myself and leave it open so it is right on my screen.
  • Send myself an email.
  • Set an Outlook reminder for myself (if it is a time sensitive issue).

Typically I go with the note on my keyboard (using scrap paper of course). Obviously, there is no way I can miss this.

    I’m in the same boat. There’s got to be an easier way too. I’ve played around with hitmelater.com and it seems like it might be pretty useful.
