I have gmail on my phone and I used to do the same quite often. The problem was that I'm kind of an "inbox-zero" junkie, so I would always archive my ToDo and reminder emails. Not a great way to get stuff done, so that didn't last long! :) I said to myself "if only there was a way that I could text notes to myself..." It's faster, easier, and the notes would stay there forever (or until I got them done)".
