+US Citizen Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Rather than going into my statistics page, I think it would be nice to sign up for a notification alert: "Uncached Days". The alert could send a message, "Hey, you have a blank spot on your 366 days of caching calender for tomorrow so go out and find a cache tomorrow." I think the alert should give a little bit of a warning vs letting me know that it's today. I would much rather know the day before vs today. Other options would be: give a notification for uncached days over the next 7 days give a notification for next (X) consecutive days; ie: 13 March thru 17 March. In this case, 5 days.

+BlueDeuce Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Give me 50 bucks and I'll find someone to whack you with a stick every day from here on out. Consider that your reminder to go caching. Quote Link to comment
+ngrrfan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Grab the calendar off the wall and sit down and look at your stats page. Mark every day needed with a highlighter. Put the calendar on the fridge. Everyday when you open the fridge, look at the calendar. There's your reminder. Quote Link to comment

+dfx Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Really? When did the calendar filing thing become official part of the game? Quote Link to comment

+Lil Devil Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Grab the calendar off the wall and sit down and look at your stats page. Mark every day needed with a highlighter. Put the calendar on the fridge. Even easier. Just print your stats page and stick that on the fridge. Quote Link to comment

majormajor42 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If you cannot come up with constructive criticism like the others who have replied, don't bother posting. that part made almost made me snork my pepsi. A little while ago I too got hit by the calendar filling bug. I think it was two things. I saw the leap year events (I think there are hundreds of leap day events this week) pop up and saw that four years ago I did not find a cache on February 29th. Then when looking at my calendar I see that February is a fairly large gap for me. Probably because that last few years have been a cache covering winter wonderland. Might as well take advantage of the nice weather we're having. US Citizen: Do you have a smartphone? I have a Droid. I love the google calender app. It wouldn't be that hard to make a few events for those days you are missing a cache. It has a nice notification feature that reminds me of things like doctors appointments or could easily be "go outiside, get some fresh air, find a cache today" If you don't have a smartphone, the google calender on their website works the same way (mine is linked between the website and my phone) and can send you emails or maybe even text messages.

GOF and Bacall Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Grab the calendar off the wall and sit down and look at your stats page. Mark every day needed with a highlighter. Put the calendar on the fridge. Even easier. Just print your stats page and stick that on the fridge. This sounds the easiest. You could hang a pen next to it and mark off the open days as you fill 'em. Make it a red pen so it looks all official like. I certainly hope TPTB don't waste time on it. Quote Link to comment
+Ike 13 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I printed a calendar in October for the winter/spring months. Marked out the days I had with black sharpie, highlighted the missing days in yellow. I keep it on my desk in eyesight so I don't forget. Thankfully the days I was missing are happening mainly on weekends so come March I'll have 366! Quote Link to comment
+Sol seaker Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 "snork my pepsi" - Great quote. Love it!! and I couldn't agree more. I sat down with my calendar and put a circle around every day that I need a cache for. That way when I look at my calendar for appointments and such, I also see which days I need caches. It's easier for me than using my phone or computer, because when I look at my calendar I'm planning my days. It's working so far. I've got all of February filled in except for this Wednesday.
