That is a good idea, make a plan and try to stick with it. BTW, I find Google Calendar to be good for posting reminders to myself to do different things throughout the year: quarterly taxes, contacting people in a few months to check on how their project, etc. is going, delivery milestones, etc. I like Google Calendar because event alerts also hit me on my Droid and iPad.

An extention to this is to use email alerts. It's too easy to dismiss an alert and forget about it.

For example, I might but an email reminder 4 weeks in advance, 1 in advance, and 3 days before for an important deadline.
