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

In the same vein of thought as the above Index Card on Keyboard Trick... While doing my intitial GTD Collection I found a old box of my own business cards and was getting ready to toss them in the trash when instead I tossed them in my supply drawer. I now use one or two a day to write on the back of them and lay them up on my desk next to the keyboard. the get tossed in the trash when the meeting or task is complete. » POSTED IN:
