Challenge: Forget Deadlines

Accommodations

*Use Web-based reminder systems, such as Remember the Milk, which sends you reminders via e-mail, instant message, or text message.

*Use a voice organizer or a watch with an alarm to remind you of scheduled events. Some telephone voicemail systems have scheduling reminders that ring at a specific time and play a reminder message.

*Use a tickler file, or another similar type of file, with a section for each month and a section for each day. Put follow-up notices in the file, and review the file each day.

*Ask your supervisor (or a fellow team member) to remind you of important deadlines or to review priorities and deadlines on a regular basis.
