English version (简体中文请看文后)

Pain point

I regretted a lot when I missed some critical dates and things. I have always wanted a service to which I can throw all my important dates and things and get notified in time. I don’t feel like setting up calendar reminder, to-do-list reminder nor automated email, because they are too cluttered and I don’t want to be on them all the time. So I came up with this service to help people like me with similar issue and needs.

This service

You tell me the content of the reminder and the date.
I will make sure that you are fully informed.

This is how it works:

  1. You comment below the reminder content and date
  2. You leave your contact details (phone, email, Skype or anything, the more the better)
    (you can also do the above through email if you want more privacy.)
  3. When the time comes, I will first try to email you one day in advance, you should reply my email in 1 day to let me know that you are informed. If I don’t receive reply from you, I will call you directly and continuously until you pick up the call and tell me that I have done my job.

This is not a to-do list service, please only add the important things and dates!

Fee

For now the service is free, and you are welcome to just donate using the PayPal link on the lift-hand side of the website.

I am building a website for this service and will incorporate more feature for it. For example, you can store some word that you want to say to your future self. I can call, let’s say, in 10 years, your future self to tell those words.
If you want to hear about its progress, leave your email for my newsletters.

Notes

  1. Please add my email address (zhous.vip@gmail.com) to your white list.
  2. Check out my another service
  3. You can explore other creative usage of this servive and I welcome your ideas!

疯狂事件提醒服务

欲解决的痛点

我经常会错过一些重要的日期和任务,比如春节定时抢票,比如某某的农历生日。每次错过其实都带来了很大的麻烦和损失。所以我就想有没有人能够在我指定的时间,通过一切手段确保我知道这些日期和任务。比如在抢票的那一天,电话告诉我,让我告诉TA我知道了。这样我才会把这个日期放在心里去执行这个任务。

这样听起来会让人觉得我没有自制力,不会用一些简单方便的工具来做到这个事情。事实上不是,我用Google calendar,iPhone的IFFFF, Todoist,等等管理工具。但是都太乱了,而且我倾向于关闭他们的推送通知,因为我想要我的生活更少地关注手机。在Google calender里面,几乎所有事件和日期的优先级是一样的,我明天要去交学费和我要给女朋友庆祝生日都会推送。所以我觉得这个服务是很有存在的意义的。

这个服务会帮助你记住那些非常重要的日期和任务。你也可以把它看作一个保险,如果你怕自己万一忘记的话。当然这个服务也可以有其他用法,比如发给我一段你希望我十年后播放给你自己的录音~

服务内容

一句话:
你告诉我提醒内容和提醒日期,我会确保你在需要的时间完全知情(informed)。

详细步骤也很简单:

  1. 你在下面留言,告诉我提醒内容和时间
  2. 你留下你的联系方式,电话,邮箱,微信,Skype,或者任何可以联系到你的方式,越多越好。
    (如果你不想留言,也可以发邮件给我)
  3. 等时间到了,我会先用一些不那么打扰你的方式提醒你,比如邮箱,微信,如果我没有及时得到你的回复,我会用电话这样的比较打扰的方式来联系你,直到你亲口和我说,"我知道了"。

费用

目前,该服务是免费的。当然也欢迎你使用网站左边的PayPal链接捐赠我。

同时我也在为这个服务搭建一个专门的网站应用,来提供更多功能。如果你想知道它的动态,请留下你的电子邮箱。

注意

  1. 请把我的邮箱地址加入白名单(zhous.vip@gmail.com)
  2. 欢迎查看我的其他 服务
  3. 你可以发现这个服务的其他创意用法,欢迎你和我分享你的点子!
