Another Way To Remind Yourself

People who work at home or work at a “third place” remind themselves in different ways about getting things done.

If you’re in front of a computer screen all day, then using a calendar program – like one in Microsoft Outlook – makes sense because it reminds you about upcoming appointments, tasks, etc.  It’s so good, if you don’t delete things, you’ll have a list a mile long and that’s a bit demotivating.

Other people use the traditional pen and paper which works great if you have a routine of checking such devices and keeping them in plain sight.

Others live by their cell phones/PDAs and these work best to remind them what to do.

You may have your own calendar set up in one, but another option now exists: Text message reminders. One new service online is MyMobiMinder.

I tend to like cell phones as a back up reminder system at least. I don’t have a PDA… just a cell phone with a calendar feature.

I suppose I could see myself using mobiminder. I like the free part. I assume it’s ad supported or otherwise, it won’t be free!

But would I type it in my calendar on the phone AND log online to get a text reminder on my cell phone? I’m not sure. But some people might. If you’re one, give it a try… it’s free.

My worry about it?

Will I start getting text message spam that I’ll never be able to stop? They didn’t address that fear that I could see.
