To do one better, I have bright yellow (and red for urgent) tags that lock into themselves. I loop the tag around my watch, a button hole in my shirt or wherever I will see it constantly. I use it to remind me to do something FIRST thing in the morning because when I wake I will see the tag around my watch. Thi will solve the problem of getting used to seing it also.

For me, it probably wouldn't work becuase I would get used to seeing it and quickly start ignoring it. Part of the effectiveness for me is seeing something that I'm not used to seeing. It bothers me enough to make me take notice. If I ever quit carrying a Palm, which I don't expect, I'll keep your idea available as an option for a ubiquitious idea capturing tool.

You can write in pencil, and then rub it off and re-use. No making tags - it's there waiting for you all the time. :-) An idea I’ve used is having a sample piece/offcut of kitchen laminate on my keyring.

I made a quick tag for my key ring that said, "ATM". After church and lunch I tore it off my key ring and set it in the dashboard cavity where my speedometer is. I couldn't help but see it so, sure enough, I didn't forget to stop by the ATM. Just before I left for church this morning I realized that I had no cash on me at all.

This is so simple and makes so much sense. I struggle with this too, and will adopt this idea for sure. I actually have some key tags I use in scrapbooking already on hand that will be perfect for this. Thanks, Ricky! Wow! This is so simple and makes so much sense.
