As I suspect curtiswheat does, I love my remote. Small, cheap and a boon to self-portraiture. Without it, I used to stand in front of the camera to set the timer going - that saves a bit of time rushing round from the back. I also used to try and set markers that I could use to ensure I got in the right position. Above all, it involved a lot of trial and error - if less than 10% of your pictures come out right, you are still doing better than me (even with a remote I don't get near 10% once I take lighting, pose, framing, etc, into account).
