Geek Tip: Remember to Turn Your Clocks Ahead This Sunday

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:02:11 -0800

Thankfully, whenever daylight saving time (DST) rolls around, my trusty cell phone and laptop automatically adjust to the new time so I'm not late for appointments, etc. But for alarm clocks, microwaves, and ovens, which aren't as intuitive and which we still use for telling time, I highly suggest setting up a reminder alert with Remindr for this Sunday so don't miss your brunch date with grandma. And with Remindr, you can choose how you want the alert - whether it be via email, SMS, Twitter, or through Gtalk.

Between work, play, and home life, there are a ton of appointments and meetings that can slip through the cracks with a busy schedule. So if you are a teensy bit unorganized yourself, I've come up with five ways for you to utilize your flashy (and not-so flashy) essentials to keep you in line and check one New Year's resolution off your list. Check out what I came up with in this highly organized slideshow. Source

Website of the Day: Remindr

GeekSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:00:29 -0800

I try to stay as virtually organized as I possibly can with my Google Calendar and many other great reminder tools I've found on the Internet. But a girl gets busy, real busy, especially at this time of the year with work, parties, shopping, and traveling. There are times when I remember that I need to do something, but don't have time to add it to my calendar, and that's when a site called Remindr becomes my savior. With the self-explanatory Remindr, you just enter the goods, and it works its magic and does the rest. That wine you were supposed to pick up for the Christmas party tonight? Remindr will give you a handy reminder to stop by the grocery store after work.
