Calendar, sticky notes, both? How do you remember things?

How do you remember things? Do you keep a calendar? What kind?
I have more than a few, but they're all the kind I write on with pen and paper. One by my desk at work, one by my desk at home, one on the wall at home, plus one in my purse. I also use sticky notes by my desks at work and at home and in my purse.

What about you? How do you remember things? Do you use a typical calendar, or maybe one on your phone, or sticky notes, maybe both calendar and sticky notes?

  1. Morgan,

    No paper for me. I keep everything in Outlook.

  2. Both!

    I have two detailed calendars, a to-do list made out several days in advance, and random sticky notes.

  3. Yikes, Lillie, I can't imaging not having paper. But then, this is what I am used to. Sticky notes stuck all over the side of my computer. A small notebook where I write a to-do list for the day and for the week. And I still end up with the errant note scribbled on a small paper that gets mixed up in the pile of other notes, business cards, books, and brochures on my desk. I wouldn't know what to do with a clean desk. LOL

  6. For me it isn't so much about how I remember, but rather what it is I remember -anything that happened at least 30 years ago is at the line of demarcation and I will generally remember it as well as stuff from 40 and 50 years ago, but let it be something from 5 minute, 5 hours/days/years ago, consider said information to be gone, gone, gone!

  7. Remember things?!? You mean I am suppose to actually remember things?!?! Well, heck.... lol! I use the computer, a calender (just a plan jane mini calender and at times even my cellphone. Sticky notes would be good, but they would just get lost in the insane clutter.

  9. Most of my reminders are in Outlook, but I keep a small date book for hosting clients at my blogs because I find it easier.
