Who among us couldn't use a gentle reminder now and then? So here's a bit of help on a hectic day: a notepad to hang over the doorknob to flag you down before you leave the house. Turn off the coffeepot. Check on 401(k) statement. Doctor's appointment, 11:15. Call vet. The 50-sheet pad costs $10 at www.Seejanework.com, a Web site rich with gussied-up office supplies and stationery and advice about how to get organized at home or at work.
