Questions & Answers about Yo pongo un recordatorio en mi agenda para no olvidar la reunión.

Can I drop Yo?

Yes. Spanish commonly omits the subject pronoun. Pongo un recordatorio en mi agenda... is natural. Keep Yo only for emphasis or contrast (e.g., Yo pongo..., no tú).

Why use poner here? Could I say hacer or colocar?

In this context poner is the idiomatic choice for “set/put” things like reminders, alarms, or notes. Hacer un recordatorio sounds odd; colocar is more for physically placing an object. Acceptable alternatives include:

• crear/programar/añadir/agregar un recordatorio
• poner/crear una alarma (if it’s a timed alert)

What does agenda mean in Latin America, and is calendario better?

• agenda = personal planner/diary or your digital schedule of appointments. Very common in Latin America.
• calendario = the calendar app or month grid. Also fine: en mi calendario. Note: “meeting agenda” (list of topics) is usually orden del día, not agenda.

Is en mi agenda the right preposition? Why not a mi agenda?
