Send yourself reminders with FutureMe
Chronically forgetful? Always making lists - and then forgetting to look at them? FutureMe might be just what the doctor ordered.
FutureMe.org is a simple, no-frills web site with one purpose: helping you stay on top of your various obligations. Its usage is self-explanatory, but I'll break it down for you anyway: use the form to write a reminder to yourself, enter your email address, and select a date to have the reminder emailed to you. This is way better than simply sending yourself an email, because in that case you get the email immediately - which doesn't do you much good if the event you need to be reminded of is two weeks away. You can set reminders to be delivered up to 30 years from now (assuming the zombies haven't taken over by then and obliterated all technology).
Also, you can set your reminders to be private (sent just to you) or public (viewable on the FutureMe web site). Browsing through the public messages makes for some good laughs.

www.43things.com is also an interesting site. It isn't primarily a reminder site, however it does offer a reminders.

This would improve ten-fold if you could specify a time for the email to be sent.

I've been using this for a couple years actually. I use it for more of a 'time capsule' thing though. It was kind of a trip getting an email from myself that I sent a year previous, after toatolly forgetting about futureme. So, i suppose I use it more for novelty than practicality.

this would improve even more if you could actually set reminders. you have to set something atleast 30 days in the future, and if you don't it tells you that they aren't a reminder service, more of a time capsule service.....
so.....not useful for me. :( too bad, cuz it looks neat

This seems more like it (reminder + time capsule):

It's only in italian, but it seems simple enough.
