Is It Age Or Information Overload?

I don't know about you, but these days, I'm finding it hard to keep track of things I need to do. At 38, I don't know if I should blame age, or the Web (for continually filling my head with more information, new ideas, and new products) as the reason that keeping track of everyday things becomes a major task!

Note: Unfortunately, information overload cannot take the rap for what appears to be my ever-expanding mid-section.

There are emails to write, Web sites to visit, appointments to keep, goals to review, bills to pay, and so many other things that need to be regularly done in a timely manner.

I used to leave my schedule to chance (not a good idea) until I found a simple program called Remind!.

Remind! lets you:

• Show notifications
• Launch applications
• Shutdown Windows
• Check your mailbox
• Send mail messages
• Open Web pages
• Synchronize your system time at an appointed time and date

All at intervals you choose.

Think of it as a computer-based assistant for your computer-related activities.

I use it all the time. As a matter of fact, If it hadn't reminded me, I may have forgotten to write this post to let you know about it!

Talk about irony!
