If you're tired of scrambling to send Mom flowers at the last minute every year, set
up a scheduled e-mail reminder for her birthday-and for any other long-term recurring events or tasks. Google CalŽendar will then send automatic alerts via SMS ("Pick up the dry cleaning at 3 p.m. today") or e-mail ("Schedule a hair appointment; it's been six weeks!"). Most Web-based calendars (like Google Calendar) and task managers (like ReŽmember the Milk), as well as sites such as HassleMe and Sandy support schedŽuled e-mail alerts of this type.
