Well I have the same problem and so when possible I pay bills in full when I first get them even if it is payable in instalments, say like a municipal tax bill – but I know that’s not exactly what you are after and that this is not always possible. I use Canada Post e-post reminders as well.
In terms of remembering to do it in the first place, this was always a big issue for me too. It all really boils down to remembering to check the agenda or calendar, which lately I’ve been much better at. I just decided it was important to me to be organized in order to feel calm and in control and achieve harmony in my life. Since I have tied it to one of my core values it has become more automatic as opposed to looking at it as only something I to do “because I have to .” Hope that the explanation makes sense because I find the core values aspect is really key to putting most things in perspective. And trust me, I’ve had to pay my share of “stupid fines” thanks to my out of sight out of mind filing/piling issues!
