What Are The Best Ways Or Reminding Myself Of Important Events?

Although there are lots of electronic and online gadgets that can help you with this, such as Microsoft Outlook Calendar, mobile phone and so forth, I would say that the best way to remember the important events is to write them down.  If you are talking about birthdays and anniversaries, then it is best to link them with another event that also happened at the same time, so you have two chances of remember the event.  What you should do is to rely on someone/something else to remind/remember things for you, so getting into the habit of writing reminders days/weeks etc before the actual event is also a great way to keep it in mind

Diaries are usually the best for helping you to remember events, as well as calendars. You can also use electronic methods, such as mobiles phones. With the majority of mobile phones, you can access a calendar on your menu, which allows you to enter reminders and birthdays etc, and you can set an alarm to go off at a particular time. This can be extremely useful when you are out and about, as you will hear the alarm and be reminded instantly.

If you have an email account with Yahoo! or Hotmail, then you can use the calendar to make a note of special events and you can also send out emails to your contacts, informing them of the event. Social networking websites such as Myspace allow you to make a note of upcoming events.

If you have an eMac, then there is a dashboard feature which allows you to view events that you have entered and you can also use the program iCal, which is a calendar application where you can make notes and share your calendar online.
