RTM as a communication helper

Maybe someone allready wrote down something like that. Anyway:
Let's say you want to remember to tell your dad to remember the milk or whatever next time you see him. You also want to talk to him about that book about Spain you saw. And you want to ask him something about something you got to do for work.
Oh and you want to remind yourself to call your aunt Mary, let's say, every 12 weeks or whatever.
So you create 2 tasks: "Communication: Dad" and "Communication: Aunt Mary". Tag the first one with §dad and the second one with §aunt-mary (you see: § is for people here).
The second task should appear when it's due in your email smart list, so you also tag it with @call. When sometime during the 12 weeks you think of something you should tell her, just write it into the notes of the Aunt-Mary-task.
The first task might also be tagged with @call as maybe you want to call him when you got the time and you write the milk and the book-about-Spain-stuff into the notes, too.
But more important: Tag the task that represents the something you have to do for work (yes, of course you allready have an rtm task for that!) with §dad. An hour or so before you're gonna meet him, click the §dad tag in the tag cloud and all tasks about which you plan to talk to him are going to appear.
