WAHM QOTW #2
Are you a work at home mom? Want to join a new weekly question meme that is just for work at home moms?
Then check out WAHM, and join up!
This weeks QOTW is:
How do you remind yourself of daily tasks? A to do list? A computer program? Let us know the details!
I use Gmail's Google calendar.
I enter in all my stuff, set it to remind me the day before, and 10 minutes before. It works for me.
I used to use a calendar program called DNW alarm, but someone hacked their site and they never put it back.
When I figured out how to use Google's, I actually liked it better because I could just click one tab on my Gmail account to get to it. The other program took going to the site, logging in, entering stuff, setting up alarms one at a time.
Gmail, I can set it for repeating events weekly, monthly, yearly etc.
I put practically everything in it because if I write it down, I tend to lose that piece of paper. Using a wall calendar, I forget to look at it, but because I'm always at my pc, boom, email notifications.

Do you have it then set to send a text to your phone? That is my favorite feature!
