First I want to say thanks to everyone who helped and commented.

Here is what I have been doing with my tickler system since I created this thread.

I already had a physical tickler system setup so I was able to start quickly, and put it right beside my computer, where I would see it each day.

And I created an @Tickler Folder on my laptop for any digital files/emails/info

Then to make sure that I remembered any items that I dropped into either tickler system, I started using the Reminders app on my IPhone.

So when I drop something into either my physical tickler system, or digital tickler system I set a reminder and alarm in the Reminders app.

I set most reminders for 7am, or 9pm depending on when that day I want the alert to pop up on my IPhone.

I am finding that this is allowing me to trust my tickler systems, and not worry if there is something forgotten in those folders or not.

I was even considering dumping my digital tickler system into my dropbox folder that way it would sync automatically to my iphone but I think I like it the way it is for now.

Again thanks everyone.
