Steps

1. Text Sam and ask us to turn on reminders. We tell you when it is on.
2. Text what you want and when. For example: "Remind me tomorrow at 8 to call the supplier."
3. Read its reply. Check that the day and the time are right.
4. At that time, your assistant texts you.
5. To see or stop reminders, text "What reminders do I have?"

Example conversation

Make it stick

• Keep reminders few. One or two a week get noticed. Ten a day get ignored.
• Put one small first step in each reminder. "Open the invoice folder" beats "do invoices."
• If you start to ignore a reminder, stop it or change the time.
