The examples that you give would end up on my calendar and/or tickler system.

If the Sales Meeting is Friday, then I might add a note to my Outlook calendar for Thursday that says, "Sales Meeting tomorrow". Or...it might be a set up as an entry in my paper-based tickler system. So...when I pull the material from Thursday's tickler folder, I would find a note that says "Sales Meeting tomorrow" (or something similar).

The Sales Meeting would (of course) be an entry on the day that it takes place. And...I have to be disciplined enough to review my calendar (both forward AND backward) every day so I don't miss anything.

Hope that helps.

Sometimes you have to experiment and find the tip or trick that works best for YOU.
