I would suggest you get a copy of Alarming Events by CE Software. It has a 
well-integrated calendar and reminder program. You can set all manner of 
reminder types and maintain a list of "Things To Do". It costs about $20 
more than Smart Alarms at MacConnection, but I think it's worth it. I used 
to use Smart Alarms, but didn't care for the interface. The December 1990 
issue of MacWorld has a review/comparison of both, although the reviewer 
preferred Smart Alarms. I'm in a situation similar to yours (chained to a 
Mac all day) and have found Alarming Events to be easier to use.
