What Year is It?

After over 300 days of reminding myself constantly that it is 2008, I now have some adjustment to do.

I have noted that one of the key techniques I have had to use in the past is barely available to me. Once upon a time, the best way to internalize the new year was the writing of cheques, as I would spend the first couple of weeks correcting my initial error of writing the previous year number in the date on the cheque.

But I no longer write cheques (five a year, perhaps?). This should be a minimal problem this year, as I am about to undergo one of those birthdays yielding an age ending in zero, and that should do the job. But what tools can I use in future years?
