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 use Outlook calendar for anything time-specific. Calendar reminders are the only event I allow a pop-up and a sound for in Outlook, so I can leave it running all day and not risk being drawn into wasetful e-mail surfing. I also get the extra benefit of wireless sync with my Blackberry, so my reminders stay on my hip. Several other options I have and do use are Pretty much anything that accomodates text entry and some form of visual reminder at a specified time should do the trick for you. » POSTED IN:
