What is the best way to jot down a note you can add to, and set quick reminder?

Question

I am bad about finding notes I write, or jotting something down, there must be a way no matter which home page I am on to be doing something and just go up-set a reminder, or jot down a note without going completely out of what I am doing. Am I right? I would love to find out how and avoid all these scribbles. Its hard as you get older to remember a fleeing thought that is ver important. Thanks Well, I just noticed we are to catagorize our questions-never scrolled down before obviously. Under that it says add it to my messenger. Does that mean the thing that pops up and shows people that are on the computer you know? You can add comments to that? It drove me crazy because I guess I never learned to do it and a distant relative got on to chat everytime I was trying to do something fast. Enlighten me please.

Google has a side bar that stays up whether you are online or offline. It has different compartments and you can choose what you have. Personally I have a clock, weather, quote of the day and a notepad. The notepad is great because you just type and save, the saved notes go into your documents folder where they are readily accessible.

I take a sheet of A4 and tear it carefully into 4 horizontal strips. Each evening, I jot down things to do, etc and in the morning I fold it in half and put it in my shirt pocket with a biro.

I have done this for 20 years and it is perfect. You don't need to have a computer.

Evernote is BRILLIANT. You can add it to your toolbar. I use it loads of times. Here's the link:
