There are cheap $30 organizers that work pretty darn good, but if you're willing to blow a bit more money I can't recommend the usability of a PDA (personal digital assistant) type device enough. Be it reminders on what I need to do throughout the day or for keeping track of people, places and things I need to pick up at the store, the multiple ways I use these handy little devices throughout the day surprises even me.

Do expect around a 6 month growing in period, but I think once you make the leap into keeping your thoughts digitized you'll be glad you did. Now I just hope I remember I wrote this, Bob.

Unfortunately, over some time now, I've largely lost my ability to manage new gadgets, especially those of the electronic persuasion, with multi-functional buttons to boot. It's called loss of executory function.
