I am very forgetful sometimes. But I cannot any more be less organized. Writing things on a notebook and carrying it around was an idea. But it wasn't always possible with only a two pocket which are alreay occupied with mobile an wallet. What i ended up doing was simple. I named one of my folders in the email as "follow up". I put all my "TO-DO" lists in that folder. I dint forget to add a "DONE" folder too. The emails will remain in "follow UP" until it is done. Once the date is passed and i have done the work, the reminder email moves to the "DONE" folder. And when i look at about 94 emails in the "DONE" folder, i couldn't be happier. and you've guessed the reason already.
The reminder is more/only effective if we check the email on a daily basis. It won't give any reminder emails or SMS, but checking it daily does keep us on the toes to get the things done asap. And once it is done, moving it to the "DONE" folder is a joy. It gave me a sense of accomplishment. This could especially benefit working professionals who have a lot to do and in very little time. All the more reason when you have a lot of things and u cant possibly remembr all of them in the correct order or on time. It did wonders to me, I'm sure, it'll be of great help to you too. Try it.
The folder method will keep you organized and also give you the highs of being so! ';-). You'll see yourself accomplishing more and being more effective. All the best.
By the way u don't have to pay me for this piece of advice!... ';-)
