How to Remember Birthdays

Step 1

Receive emails. there are certain sites that are made just for entering all those birthdays. Use a search engine and find one that will do the best job for you. Most of these services are free!
Step 2

Check out your options. Some photo sharing sites will send you reminders for birthdays ahead of time. If you are currently using any photo sharing service, see if they offer this option. It can come in very handy!
Step 3

Keep them in an address book. Have a small address book made just for birthdays. Every time you have to write a new birthday, keep it in the book.
Step 4

Just because the year is over does not mean you have to toss it!

Use a calendar. Many people still use calendars for tracking birthdays. Problem is we use a new calendar every year and it can be a hassle to take the time to mark the birthdays all over again. Instead, just keep this calendar somewhere convenient that you can still check often.

on 9/24/2009 I've used a book called The Birthday Journal for the last few years. It's kind of like a calendar but I don't have to go back and fill it in new every year- just flip to the front. Check www.birthdayjournal.com

on 4/24/2008 I was not happy with any of the services available so I had my own built! http://www.thesitetoremember.com will remind you in advance of all your important dates and it has a unique facility which automatically gets your friends birthdays for you when you invite them to join! Normally anyone joining today would get credited with 10 free SMS credits. Anyone who reads this and joins today and emails me, using the contact form on my website, will get double the free credits!
I will not send unsolicited emails or texts and where other service providers of this nature make money from advertising to you we don't.
