If you have Outlook for your email or calendar, you can use the task list and also set an alarm reminder, including for recurring tasks or appointments.
Calendars don’t work for me if I can’t see them – so I got a dry-erase calendar which I put next to my work space at home. Then I can see what’s coming up for the whole month. (That said, it took days before I could face paying a bill online that I had to log in to pay, because I constantly forget my passwords, and knew I’d have to create a new one, and can’t ever think of good ones. I’m afraid to do automatic bill-pay because I might over-commit. I have no idea how much money is in my account. I’m afraid to look.)
Some credit card companies will send your statement via email.
I really need to SEE what has to happen, where it needs to take place, where I’m going to be, and visual cues help the most. Others might like alarms or bells (but for me, I just forget the noise as soon as it stops – but I remember feeling annoyed by it!)
