Early morning reminders

by Becky on July 22nd, 2008

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - We recently discussed using Google calendar reminders to make sure you know what you’ve planned for your day. Marina brought up a good point: What if you have something to do at 6 a.m., but you get email reminders from Google at 5 a.m.?

I don’t always remember to check the next day’s schedule, but I always check my calendar in the morning. So how do I make it to those early morning commitments that occur before I log on to my computer?

I use my cell phone. Most of today’s cells have a built-in calendar and reminder system. So if I have something I need to remember earlier than normal, I let my cell do it. I schedule in plenty of prep time and set the alarm. Need to be somewhere at 7 a.m.? I just set it to remind me at 5:30 or 6 a.m.

I’m sure there are many other ways to remind yourself of those early morning commitments. What methods work for you?
