    If you use Apple Reminders to organize your to-dos, how should you set it up? Here’s how I’d do it. I demonstrate on the Mac, but this works on iPhone or iPad too.

    I am bowing down and thanking the Gods of the TH-cam algorithm for showing me this video. So very helpful! Thanks for your work!

    13:47 Thank you for using concrete steps and encouraging your viewers (me) to set things up exactly as you have yours. When someone does this, I learn the material much faster, and by the end of watching this video I have something extremely useful and relevant to my life that I can begin using today!

    Thank you for showing me that reminders can do so much more than I realized. As a chronic procrastinator I’m going to use what you said about lists and dates to boot me in the backside to get going on tasks and projects. Never rush up to a deadline again!

  • @Mubblz
    @Mubblz ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I just came across this as I was looking for a way to get organized and I am so grateful! Also in addition to the four pinned I added two more pinned lists for my morning routine and bedtime routine. I’m trying to eliminate the use of too many apps to do things that I can get done with just one. Thank you so much you really helped me figure this out and I’ll watch the other one next for sure. Thanks.

    Wow! This has been extremely helpful between this and your notes video! I had most things stored in google docs which just became cluttered. Was going to look for different paid apps and I'm glad I just learned about what I already have especially because I am new to mac! I've been spending over an hour reorganizing all my tasks. Thank you!

    I'm going through a period where I need to save money on food. This helped me make inventory of my pantry, fridge, and freezer, and add expiration dates to foods. This is gonna alleviate monthly planning so much, thank you!

    Wow. Thank you so much for doing this video. I was just thinking a few days ago that I wanted to give Reminders another try to help me keep track of my To-Dos after trying numerous other methods, both digital and analog. After Attempting to set up a layout, I did a quick search and found your video. It contains a tremendous amount of helpful information and I plan to watch your other videos. Thanks again!

  • @BrianWatkins9000

    Excellent!! I am about to rewatch and take notes!! I have been really wanting to switch into reminders and get use out of it. I thought I would just find one or two tips I could use. But wow! I think there is only one or two I might not use!! Can’t wait to watch the others!

    Recently started using Reminders so thank for the great tutorial!! And glad to hear some else agrees having to create a template from a list instead of a task w sub tasks doesn’t make and is cumbersome, but then how sub tasks can sometimes work maybe it’s not so bad after all 😂

    This was eye opening and so helpful. Thank you so much! I set up my reminders app like you have demonstrated. 2 questions. Can you do a follow up video on how the reminders that you set up flowed? And in this video you mentioned to watch another video to learn about widgets. That video was helpful but didn’t have the widgets in it. Is there more videos besides the tips video and this one?

    Great video. One idea I got when watching this video - for templates, incase the ordering gets wrong, you can number the tasks, so when the ordering is wrong you can easily put all in the right order.

    @annevoss4302 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like this. I love the idea of the today view to add flagged. Easier to add deadline dates and worry about today tasks with flagged.
    I work on some big projects that are usually year long so doing tasks with sub tasks is difficult for me. I create lists for my big projects, put them all in a folder called work projects. Once I complete the project I move it all into another folder called completed or archive. It makes it easier that way because within projects I have lots of tasks.
    Also, another tip. I created another smart list that I pinned called anytime (similar to things 3). I. There I set to add all tasks without a date. This way I can go through tasks that I don’t have deadlines for and I can assign them when I am ready.

  • @realmaxjimenez

    Great, informative video. I generally add reminders/to-dos from the Scheduled tab so that they are by day of the week. I also have Smart Lists based on tags for Work and Admin and Important. Every time I add an item to the Scheduled tab it goes to my Inbox list and also gets added to a specific Smart List. Is there a way to avoid it going to the Inbox list and just populate into the respective Smart Lists?

    Great video. This is the closest thing I’ve seen to replicating what I love so much about Things 3. Not smooth enough to make me switch yet, but it’s great to know I can fall back on Reminders should something happen to Things in the future.

    • @giomardeleon
      @giomardeleon ปีที่แล้ว

      I have been able to replicate my Things 3 setup well with Apple Reminders. Basically I create folders for Projects (As opposed to lists) and under these projects folders I have lists with items and subitems. I started using Things 3 because of Peter, and have been able to just move to Reminders. Thank you Peter for your videos!
