My Travel Optimizer

I want to talk about about something I’ve found that has really helped me out in organizing my life. Like most modern people I have a lot of stuff to keep up with. There’s a ton of payments; utilities, cell phone, internet, student loan, car payment, etc. How often do you need to go the store to pick up a cable, cleaning product, food item, etc? I also like to keep track of certain movie releases (sometimes when I remember them they’re already out of the theater) and other entertainment. Let’s not forget anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions, etc.

I found a service called Rememberthemilk.com that is quite simply, the dog’s balls. That means its awesome.

Remember the Milk has a smart, easy to use interface that allows you to create reminders for yourself. You can set up a to do list with links to websites and other info. It will email you these reminders or you can log in to the site. You can also set these reminders up to be cyclical for tasks you repeat every month like (cell phone payments.)

But the absolute best part of rememberthemilk.com is the firefox extension for gmail. This extension integrates Remember the Milk with gmail. If you are a regular gmail user this totally rocks.

Did I mention this is free?

There are a lot things one has to before leaving on a trip and Remember the Milk has become part of my process. Its great to have such an easy way to remember all the stuff I have to do with my life.
