THIS IS NOT THE BEST WAY OF REMEMBERING THINGS, I REALIZE:
I've tried post-it notes and palm pilots (among other systems) to remember when I'm supposed to be doing various things; I tend to misplace the post-its (or forget which paper I wrote on) and never have the palm pilot when it'd do me good. So, when my laptop's not handy, I write notes to myself on the back of my hand. I find this to be a particularly good system when I have to email a large number of people (like the half-dozen or so today). Just now, I was looking at something I had written. or several minutes, it looked more like 'rafter wort,' which sounds like it should be in an herbal tea of some kind. I eventually figured out that it was a note reminding me that the next meeting I have with the other grad student working on Grotius was 'F(riday) after next.'
Suggestions for a better system of remembering to-do items would be appreciated.
