just use a calendar event, it's more robust, and gives you the same feeling of 'oh yea...'

Exactly. I give services like this - generally coded as someone's first "wow I know PHP now!" or the modern equivalent - approximately 5 years shelf life, at best.

Whereas I have notes-to-future-me on my calendar that I put there 30 years ago.

What calendar system have you been using for 30 years, that's survived that long?

I think I sent one of those "mails to the future" in the 90's, asking 2002 me how I am. I don't think it ever arrived, or the free email domain I was using ceased operating.

Sheesh, anyone old enough to remember the services offering a free email address with a choice of maybe 50 domains in a dropdown?

I don't get emails for my calendar events though (which is kinda important for my workflow, as my inbox is my task backlog)
