at(1) works okay for me, along with a "mailnote" script which sends
a one-liner to my inbox or cell phone.

For example:

   > at 2:30pm
   mailnote meeting at 3pm


You might want wrappers to organize things the way you like.  I have
one to reorganize atq and at -c output so I can read my upcoming
notes or make sure the date is right on a job.  A few times I've
seen "at 9am tomorrow" turned into 9am two days from now, so it is
definitely funky.
