How do you remind yourself to do something?

Just now my husband asks me to remind him to change his driving licence on June 1st, 2018. At first I wanted to mark it down in an app from my cellphone. However, I suddenly realize I am not sure whether I will use my cellphone for such a long time. So I use a software from my computer and set the specific time to send a SMS to my husband automatically so that he will not forget it. I count on it

I may not even use the same phone after three years later

That is a long time away. I think you can write a note and paste on your passport too. It is likely that you will check your passport a few times before 2018, and you may have to renew your passport around the same period.

I'm hopeless really at remembering things I need to do. I really should use my phone but don't.

This is why my husband counts on me. I am becoming to his secretary or notebook?

I have a special Notepad on my desktop to keep track of what I have to do later on. I also print it and put it in my filing cabinet.
