Google or Yahoo and other calendars are quite easy to use. There are several 3rd party calendars and reminder freeware tools available too, but I recommend these as they seamlessly integrate with your email, which you are going to use anyway.
For Google users, if you are in your google/gmail account, the "Calendar" tab at the top can lead you straight into a new tab with the calendar opened in it. There, you have a planner available to which you can add events that you would like to be reminded about. You simply need to navigate to the right year, month, date and time where you need to put the event. The navigation itself is very easy, using the month calendar at the left column. Events could be one-time, like a seminar or a meeting, or frequent, like monthly bill payments or yearly birthdays' and anniversaries' reminders. Once you have added up an event, you can click on the entry and enter the frequency of occurrence for that event.
The next important thing to do is setting up reminders. You can choose to be reminded days or hours in advance about an event, and can also configure the calendar to mail you a daily agenda to ensure the reminder on the particular day, sent to your google mailbox early that morning. To do this, you need to go to: Settings (top right in Calendar)>Calendar (tab)> Notifications and set the type and number of reminders along with the email address where you would be notified.
Things are pretty simple and similar in Yahoo. So try for yourself and see.

Never miss out on anything again, just remember to enter it in the calendar immediately.
