Free Personal Assistant – Meet Sandy
Posted by Holly in Free Software
Meet Sandy – she is YOUR personal assistant to help you remember all your appointments, lists, to-dos, contacts and projects. She doesn’t make you jot down dates and times in an online calendar or anything like that. This is really an extraordinary service I discovered today! 
Once you signup at http://iwantsandy.com and activate your account, then you can start using the service. Basically, once you have an account you will be given your own custom e-mail address to reach “Sandy” at. Whenever you send her a quick e-mail (at the e-mail address specially given to you) then she will remember whatever it is you have told her and put it into your online calendar and remind you of it – by SMS to your cell phone, through twitter, or direct to your inbox (every morning or at a certain time you specify).
If you e-mail Sandy and you say “Remember I have to Pay my affiliates in 3 days” – then she will do just that! She can understand your terminology and you can also use Sandy’s Cheat Sheet below (courtesy of Sandy’s web site). You may want to save the Cheat Sheet to your computer. I saved it to a text document and saved it to my desktop. If you want to download it, feel free to download it here.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention Holly. I have been putting Sandy through her paces and I know she is going to be a godsend for a forgetful and disorganized guy like me!
