Backpack hack that can also act as a tickler file. The reminder feature as the ability to e-mail reminders as well as send them using SMS. Backpack pages each have a unique e-mail address allowing you to send e-mail to any page. Why not combine the two? I use the reminder feature to e-mail reminder items to my Today page at a specified time. With the newly implemented repeating reminders feature, this can be even more powerful. For instance, if I want to make sure I pay a bill on a certain day every month I can create a reminder for the bill and it will show up on the Today page at the specified time. Then I can set that reminder to repeat every month so that, on the specified date and time, not only to I get a reminder for it on my cell phone but it also shows up on my Today page. Very cool.
I actually have changed the page name to "Today". While I do look at and accomplish items on my context based lists I use this page to list all of the things I would like to accomplish today.

Adding a note to a page via email

If you want to send a note to a page, compose an email to that page’s email address and begin the subject of the email with “note:”. Next, finish the subject with the title of the note and then fill the email body with the body of the note. The note will then be added to the “Notes” section on the Backpack page you emailed.
