This must exist?

[beasty]

Hope you all had a good xmas.

I am looking for something that must exist

A POP up diary for my computer, so at 9am it says DO THIS.. at 10am DO THIS.. and so on

I found TASK SCHEDULER but this is only for running programmes, it will not let me do a simple prompt or email (both are not available oddly)

So i am 100% this must exist, anyone got a suggestion on where i can get this.

Idea is, i input, fixed tasks in advance and so have prompts for the month telling me what needs done, taking the thought out of it..

thanks

Don't some CRM's do this?

I get this both with outlook (only when outlook is running though) and with google calendar (at all times).

I'm sure there are hundreds of other solutions too but google calendar is one I can say actually does exactly what you're looking for.

I use Google Calendar to manage my time. It syncs to my phone too, so I can be notified by SMS, email, or pop up, where ever I am.

Google Calendar user here as well. I use it to send me email notifications and pop-up notifications on my phone.

Works really well on Android (although the new calendar client they recently released sucks compared to the old one) not sure about on iOS though.

For Unix there is "at" I believe there is something for windows probably same name.

If you had a mac I would recommend omnifocus that's what I use and it does exactly what you were asking

Yes, Windows also have "at" command. It can be used for that purpose.

Sign up for an Exchange Only account with Office 365. Get Outlook on your PC.

Then you can connect your phone, tablet, laptop, pc / any other device.

Everything you put in your calendar on your phone will appear as a reminder on all other devices and vice versa. Costs less than £40/year.

Calendar or To do list?

Most calendars have the option to set reminders. I use the calendar add on for Thunderbirds email package and it can display reminders and sync with my Google Calendar (which I don't actually use) which then syncs with my Phone calendar (that can also display reminders.

If you are looking for a task manager rather than an appointment/calendar then you want to be searching for/googling "To Do List". There are probably several thousand out there. My current favourite is "Todoist" https://todoist.com which is available on multiple formats.

Seriously, there are lots of ways of achieving this. Lots of fiddly ways of this app or the other. However save yourself a whole lot of head aches and just go the Exchange/Outlook route. It's been around for ever and will be around for many many many years to come.

I sync everything to Google Calender and set a reminder to popup on my phone/device I'm using.
