Wow there are some great ideas here.
I have seizures due to a TBI and I use notes alot but there are notes scattered all over the place and I end up losing half the reminders I wrote down.

One of the things that used to really bug me was the TV remote, it is one that controls the cable, dvd, tv etc and I could never figure out how to just turn on the TV without screwing everything else up. I finally had my son buy me my own remote, a cheap one with TV only on it and i'm a happy camper.

Love the wake up call idea too !
