reminder
Note to self
A reminder is something that prompts you to remember—a note, a notification, an alarm, or simply a person or thing that brings something to mind.
Set a reminder for the meeting.
The scar was a reminder of the accident.
Reminders can be practical (calendar alerts) or emotional (mementos that recall the past).
