Texting yourself?

I do text to myself on WhatsApp. I find it convenient to do that since it uses the same behaviour of sharing something with your friends which you think they will find helpful. You can think of future you as a friend who will find what you are sharing today helpful :P

I text myself sometimes on Slack. I also drop links in there to remember them later.

I also always write to myself on whtasapp. It feels like you have everything in one place and it can't get lost. I also use Apple Notes, as I then have everything compact and synchronised there with my other Apple devices

Yesss, everywhere but SMS – helps me to save for later, and I basically have built a habit of checking them daily.

Interesting point! While texting yourself might seem odd, it's a common practice for quick notes and reminders. However, using a dedicated note-taking app can definitely help organize thoughts better. Plus, it's less confusing for your contacts to receive random messages from "yourself"! 😄

It's because of the reminder. I know I'm going to open WhatsApp at some point anyway, so it's a place where I can guarantee that I'll remember.

I know that I am going to open Whatsapp or my email at some point. I don't need to set a reminder of any sort. I already know (quite reliably) that my future self would encounter what I am sending it. The whole point is to reduce cognitive load, both now and overall. It is equivalent to leaving your umbrella by the front door.

I email myself sometimes, I'd probably use iOS reminders if I used a Mac computer at work There's an integration for Wunderlist or ToDoist to sync with iOS Reminders which is neat but doesn't always sync as well as it would if it were native

Idk for me I just use the reminders app, I check it daily. I formed a habit of it tbh.
