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

Here's my lo-fi solution: I write the day's reminders on an index card. I prop up the card on my keyboard - it will stand up if placed above the function keys. It's enough to remind me of things (ie. meeting at 2), and it's easily portable. Anything needing a reminder more than a day away goes in the tickler. » POSTED IN:
