    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!

    Thanks a lot of putting all this information together. I wasn’t aware of all those features. Very handy - and great for productivity! 👏

    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!

    Fantastic video, thank you so much! I followed each of your steps and I am much happier with my productivity setup. Keep up the great work!

    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.

    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 😂

    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.

    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 Рік тому

      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!

    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.

  •  Рік тому +7

    I do this by adding a bunch of lists to a group and then clicking on the group so that I can view all my lists within that group at once. It's another option for viewing tasks by section. But I've used this method too. I think this really demonstrates how flexible and powerful Apple Reminders is now!

    •  Рік тому +1

      I can't create GROUPS-... The option in the edit menu is grayed out and dragging two lists on top of each other doesn't create groups... I see that people online have the same issue.. I run the latest version of MacOS Ventura 13.2 .. Anyone encountered this too?

    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?

  •  Рік тому

    I like adding a widget that includes a specific list to a home screen which is tied to a Focus way it surfaces the relevant reminders for what I’m doing at that moment. I do the same with email, calendar, and notes widgets.
