Brenda let me know about a creative solution she uses to remember to do some of life’s more complicated tasks. She essentially uses the powerful BBSmart Alarms Pro application to set audible reminders for herself that include her saying what she needs to do. For example you could leave yourself an audible reminder to pay the bills and not forget about tallying it up in Quicken. I personally wish RIM would let you do such a thing yourself. For example, leave yourself a voice memo with a reminder date. It really would not be all that hard for them to add to the voice recorder application…
You can read her solution on her blog at this link. If you don’t already have a copy of BBSmart Alarms Pro you can pick one up in the store for $15 with a free trial available. I am always interested in learning about new creative ways that people use their BlackBerry to stay on top of things. Let me know if you have your own!

I use a combination of note2self and webmessenger message alerts to send myself a voice message that keeps bugging me. When I have time I create an appointment and dismiss the voice msg alert.
