1. Customize your ring-tones so you know right away if it's the sitter or your
mother-in-law calling (and never get stuck on a call you don't have time for).
2. Too rushed for a long chat with an old friend? Send her a text to let her know she's on your mind. It'll make her smile -- and help you ditch the guilt for not calling.
3. Since you're probably not using your phone's alarm to wake up these days, set it to remind you of things like birthdays and bake sales.
