For Later

I don’t know why but I had never thought of this until 2 minutes ago: A friend asked me if I had some photos of us mixing that he could use for a seminar. Of course I do, but my photos are mostly all on my Mac at home & knowing myself all too well, I’ll get home & totally forget about doing it.. So I thought how can I schedule an email to myself to remind me? One search later & I’ve found a great new online service: For Later
Its so simple its genius! As long as you set the time as per your local offset, you can then choose a date & time in the future to receive an email from yourself… So other than emailing myself for 8pm tonight (dear immediate future tim, remember to find the mix photos for chris! best regards, slightly younger tim) I started thinking about other emails I could cue up… I could start nagging myself in the future about things I say I want to do but may not quite get around to! Although I can see that particular angle coming upstuck when ‘patient tim’ gets too many abusive emails from ‘drunk tim’ etc….

    I use RememberTheMilk for ToDo list management, which includes email reminders when required.

    I have a lists for Books, Movies, and Music, so everytime I hear or read about something that sounds worth checking out, I just add it to a list.
