Better write this down.

    How do you remind yourself to do things you might forget?

    Sticky notes? Calendars? Write it on your hand? And so on.

    Personally I usually use the calendar option on my phone. I set the event's name to what I need to do. That way, when I see the event icon, I'm like "oh I need to do something" and I'll do it. :) I've also used sticky notes, the margins of my notebooks (when I was younger and didn't have a cell phone), and even used my hand sometimes. I try not to do that though because my parents would've killed me. :p

    How about you?

    I'm disorganized, so I try to write down things on a sticky note but I usually end up forgetting them.
     
    I use the Notes function on my phone (or the Post-it Widget on my Mac). However, I need to often check my phone to see if I've left updates in the first place, so it doesn't always work as much as I'd like it to! Writing on hands is for really important stuff that I can't forget... and I'll always see it, for the most part.
     
    I usually don't have much stuff to note down, but if I have to note something down, I use a notepad or the Notes app on my smartphone.
     
    I don't like writing on my body. xD

    I usually remember everything anyway, so yeah... But sometimes I use my phones for notifications.
     
    How do you remind yourself to do things you might forget?: I remind myself to do things I might forget by trying to remember them in my mind or writing them down on a planner.
     
    Text file on my computer or those pieces of scrap paper my parents always keep around to write out their lists and reminders. I hardly ever look at a calendar, whether on a device or hanging on the wall.
     
    There are those times when I want to quickly remember something and I jot it on my hand. But other than that, I guess if it's on the net, a text file, and I sometimes write stuff on my calender in my room.
     
    I usually use the Calender function on my phone. Otherwise, I'll use a sticky note and stick it near my computer monitor so that way I can see it when I need to. Very rarely, will I actually write it on my calender.
     
    I don't use sticky notes, and I don't use calendars. If I'm on the computer, I'll type it up quickly and leave whatever it is I typed it on open. If I have my phone with me, I'll type up a note in Notes, but most of the time it goes on my hand without a second thought. I tend to also ask people to remind me of things from time to time as well.
     
    Kinda depends.

    For school related stuff (school events, homework deadlines, etc), I used my "Personal Planner", which is a book given to all of the students on the first day of a new school year.
    For events (game releases, tv premieres, etc), I tend to use my laptop's calendar.
     
    For school, I write 'em down in my weekly planner that I check over when I start my assignments. As for things that aren't school related, I quickly type it in my phone memos so I don't forget.
     
    I have a bad memory so I carry around notebooks to write things in. Usually I don't go back and see what I wrote because I'm disorganized and have dozens of different notebooks, but the act of writing something down helps me remember.
