how do you remind your self to do things?

[dionx]

i email myself at home or work, or i write a message on my cell that covers my background image. when the task is completed, the email is marked as read or i delete the message on my cell. this technique works well since i hate having unread mail.

even after using a pda for a few years now, i never actually make a to-do list and check off as i do it. it seems to formal.

Pen and Paper.

Yeh i write stuff down, or i tend to forget.

 

[yobarman]

All in my head.

And when stuff gets too hectic, just a checklist on pen and paper.

 

[crawford]

I just forget it, or get triggered by some random thing that I come across.

 

[BigFatCow]

i usually dont.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

I write myself notes, wrap them around pens, and shove them up my ass. Oh, and sometimes I tie a string around my finger too.

 

[yukichigai]

Unsuccessfully.

Did I spell that right?

 

[rpc64]

I can't remember a damn thing. I forget to remind myself.

Edit: Perhaps I should try flxnimprtmscl's method...

 

[amdskip]

I have a to do word doc that I am constantly updating

I remind myself by email also. It's the only thing that works.
