Reminders (or 'don't like post-its')
SteveC | Jan 12 2007
Does anyone have any suggestions for replacing the post-it stuck to the monitor for reminding you of something? My specific issue is that my boss has asked me to put summaries on my audit reports to him. I suppose I average about one such report a week, but they're erratic. The form we have to complete doesn't mention summaries (there's a comment box where I'm supposed to put them, but it's called something else). The software we have to use is very clumsy (it doesn't help that our workflow doesn't match the underlying assumptions of the software), so it's not just a case of 'remembering'. I used to have a post it note on the terminal, but it looked messy and kept falling off. Any suggestions? Steve 14 Comments

I have a big text...Submitted by austin.moody on January 14, 2007 - 12:34pm.
I have a big text file that I use to try and help myself remember the odd items that go along with tasks that may repeat here or there. Like adding a new user to our computer systems, or things to remember when creating my monthly timesheet for accounting, etc... Anytime I do something that I've had to do in the past I try to remember to review this file to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. » POSTED IN:
