NPR's All Things Considered has a segment called All Tech Considered. David Allen is quoted in a piece called Digital To-Do Lists Are Fine, But What Really Motivates Us? Excerpt: Allen says the effectiveness of alarm reminders depends on whether a task is imperative vs. motivational, and on your level of dedication. "I think those [alarms] only work if there's a dire consequence of not doing what the behavior is," he says. "If it's yoga at 4 a.m. — good luck."

The post is short, and will only take you a couple of minutes to read, if you're inclined.

LOL Not a chance. I went through a stage of setting alarms to remind me to switch tasks, eat, etc. Got really good at ignoring them too!
