I've been thinking about including files in my .reminders named 'january', 'february' and so forth. Initially these files would be empty and I would place only transient, one-shot reminders for the current month in the appropriate file perhaps using a link named 'current' to point to the current month. When the same month rolls around in the next year I would then delete all the entries in that month's file and start again. This way I would just be keeping the last year's worth of transient reminders. Reactions?
