I use followupthen.com as my tickler file. It is a pretty basic and easy to use service. You send things to the site with a date like mon@followupthen.com or nov5@followupthen.com. On that date you...
I am not a programmer, but I certainly know that each web page you have open is almost like a separate instance of your web browser running. You can see this if you are in Windows by opening the Task...
I hope someone can help you sort out the philosophy on this one, but I like to use this service with emails that I need to take later action on. I consider if my tickler file:...
Would you be able to bring a tablet with a key board? The nice thing is you could do your typing when you needed to, but most times, turn it side ways in front of you to make clear that you are doing...
I agree with the suggestion to use your smartphone, but not all recorders are obsolete some are keeping up with technology and would be useful tools (although not I think it this situation).
It's possible you could just use Evernote without Remember the Milk. A little depends on whether you want a naggy app that will remind you when you have something to do. I found I don't like that and...

I wanted to pull this out. You started to work at this job at the very beginning of the horrible period of the 2008 economic mess. You started to look for another job, also still in that period. I...
You've gotten great advice thus far. Can I ask you to also help the company by having an exit interview with your boss's boss when you do leave?
I'm working with a group who is in the process of...
It would help me to understand your problem better if you could be more specific about what sorts of things are on your list.

When I switched to an Android phone last spring I had to make this same decision, Google is the way to go. I know that there were things Cozi couldn't do that Google could (although I don't remember...
If you use a tickler file, you could simply start a sheet of paper that says, "Change furnace filter" put it in the correct month or day and then on that that day when you change the filter you put...
