I just had a panic, thinking that I had forgotten to order the awards plaques for sexualities section awards. It turns out that I hadn’t forgotten that. I had forgotten that we agreed that a different section officer would do it, starting this year. Whew! Tonight, I’ll probably have that dream where I’ve forgotten my presentation, realizing that only after I’m introduced and everyone is looking at me. Thursday, I’ll probably really forget to pack that doohickey that Mac users need to fit into that ridiculously huge projector cable.
If you’re forgetful like me, you might find the oh, don’t forget site useful. For free (or I guess for the cost of one text message), you can send yourself a text message at a time in the future. Like I’m about to set one for tomorrow that says “put that Mac doohickey in your briefcase.”

http://www.rememberthemilk.com is also good for that, though I just use it for email reminders and haven’t tried the SMS/IM options.

There’s also google calendar which will SMS or email you before any event you want. I use that for reminders way in the future that I’m not likely to remember unless I send myself a text.
And then there’s Jott (http://jott.com/). I put the number on my cell phone and then call it and jott to self. The program will transcribe what I say and then send me an email. It’s handy for reminding myself about stuff when driving.
