Apple Reminders for Productivity + 10 Tips and Tricks 

So many features, all I needed was ability to drag drop reminder onto the calendar app and the event sync both ways.

The best thing is to get reminders from your watch

I live north of Milwaukee and thought we were the only ones with that weird trash/recycling pickup schedule. 😂 Good video!

Great presentation!! 👏👏👏 learnt a lot

I've been using Apple products for years and never fully used REMINDERS to it's fullest and this definitely gave me some better ideas how to use it.

I run my life out of Apple Reminders and Apple Notes. They are both fantastic apps and wicked fast. Siri support in Reminders is perfection and I love the ability to neatly link my notes to reminders.

Reminders is one of the best and underrated apps on Apple products. It’s basically my planner!

Great video, info and explanations. Thank you! I use reminders for my workout plans from my coach: Groups "Week 1 of 4, 2of4, 3of4, 4of4”LISTS: day1 legs, day 2 back/chest, day 3 shoulders arms, day 4 glues/hams Tasks are the exercises themselves: barbell back squats - 3 sets 20/pulse 20 on last rep Subtasks are my sets and reps and I log notes set1 85# too heavy set2 65# just right set3 65# fail at 15 I save the lists as templates to reuse the same routine for 4 weeks. I’ll print my workouts when I’m done and share them with my coach to review and adapt. {I actually save them now as tabloid size PDF to files most days this allows all items to fit in one page} Doing daily checklists for my 11yo ADHD & on the spectrum. He loves checking things off {HIS LISTS} and I have set to “show completed” for that added feeling of accomplishment!! Groups: Sunday-Saturday Lists: morning, after school, evening and before bed Tasks: 🪥brush teeth, 👕🩳change clothes, 🐕feed dog, etc. 🧹🍽️🛁🎒📚 Options are ENDLESS 😃

How many times I have seen this video? Me: YES ‼

Great video 👍 Learned some tricks here ! For my productivity, I creat a shortcut who runs himself at 5 in the morning that transform my calendar entries (tasks, events, and appointements) in reminders. I never forgot anything now 🤟

So practical the examples. Thank you.

I agree multi user support so needed

Terrific video! Love Apple reminders, and hadn’t thought about the trash/recycling, awesome tip!

I like the column view for leads and pipelines

I use the grocery list option to make a pantry list, so I know what’s in my pantry.

This awsome video really helped me understand that powerful app that I use daily even better. You rock!!!

Really nice video! I will give it a shot again.

I always enjoy your efforts. Well done.

Some great tips on here. Just subbed. Thanks and keep up the great content.

Very useful, the pacing was just right for me. Thanks.

I love apple reminder but it would be cool if the reminder can sync with the calendar event. Apple please make it happen ❤. Hope one day this will happen

Great video!

Thank you!

Great video! Very useful

You’re one of the few people who is not forcing us to spend money on some SAS

What do you say to Reminders taking up too much storage space? You actually have to delete a file on your Mac to at least reduce the size.

Hey Brandon, excellent video, explaining how the Reminders app works. I'd like to hear your opinion on how to go about doing the things below. If you think it's worth your time, please develop and publish a video on them. * The Apple Calendar app has some features similar to some features in the Reminders app and vice versa. What would you recommend as to how to decide whether a task should go into the Calendar app or into the Reminders app? (I use a simple rule. If a task needs to be done at a particular day/time, I put in on the Calendar.) * What options can you name/describe as the basis for Reminder lists? The most common one is that a list is a "topic". There are others. * I've made sure that the folders/lists I have in the Calendar app, the Reminders app, and the Notes app are identical. Does this sound like a good idea?

Thanks, Brandon! This vid was extremely helpful and informative. I had no clue Apple reminders could do all of this. Will be following you from now on!

Love Apple Reminders

The siri snd reminder combo is super useful, thanks for the tip!

The Repeat function needs to offer two alternatives: base the new reminder's due date on either the due date of the competed item, or its completion date. Different situations require different solutions.

Super underrated content! First time I’ve commented this but you got a subscriber!:)

Great succinct video!

Really love Apple Reminders. Do you know what would be the easiest way to import all my tasks from Todoist to Apple Reminders?

I have not designed yet such a sophisticated system to use the reminders, but I completely agree with you that the Siri+reminders combo is the deadliest out there. I love it and I use it a lot. I will try to expand following your tips. Thank you very much for this great video!

its helps

Where do the “Siri” reminders go? Do they default as a free floating reminder list? (parentless folder)😊

Great vid! I just started using Reminders for things I used to have on my calendar and picked up some good tips. However... This confirms a problem I'm having is not a common bug. I can't change the list in the Reminders widget. When in edit widget mode, I tap the list, and it just dims. This works fine on my iPad. Brand new iPhone 15 Pro running 17.1, nothing.

although I'm baffled, confounded, stupefied by the lack of integration between the Calendar, Reminders and Notes. They all should be connected and able to communicate with one another.

WOW.. AWESOME Video. I sent Apple a Suggestion to add Notes to the Calendar App. I WISH Apple create away to add Alarms to Apple Notes / Alerts like with EVERNOTE.

Enjoyed the video. While using the reminders app on my iphone. When I search for keywords in a subtask, I wish the search results would pull up the entire reminder, rather than just the individual subtask. Do you know if there a way to do this?

Are the reminders persistent? Meaning, I can't clear them from the notification center until I mark them as done? Also, does anyone know if they those come back if you reboot your phone?

Been using reminders for a long time because I've never been a fan of how 3rd party apps give me notifications. Was excited about the grocery list auto-sorting, but I find it doesn't work. It's not sorting automatically at all. I'm running the latest iOS as of today. Oh well! Maybe it's a bug that it doesn't work for all (iPad or iPhone - I do not have a Mac).

Hi Brandon, is there a way to "share" the tags on shared lists as well? We're sharing a groceries list with my partner, in general we do our shopping at 2 different (sometimes 3) shops depending on the items. When I tag the items in my list with the name of the shop, it's easy to set a filter when I'm at a particular shop. However, these tags are not transferred on this shared list to my partners device. Any tricks? Thanks Deniz

Why dont I have the groceries list in my reminders app?? I have iphone 14 pro max and its all up to date (I'm in UK maybe why?)

Ancient One here, this is awesome,Siri is my gal Friday now [ do you youngstes get that reference?] “ hay Siri remind me to thank Brandon.”

Hod do you, or can you, drag an email into Reminders to create a task/reminder? A large proportion of my work is generated by email or phone calls so this is a fundamental requirement for me. I can do it in Things 3 but not Reminders (unless you tell me otherwise?)

I heard that Reminders and iCal will synchronize when they release iOS 18 ツ

not enough memory to down load 17.

Anything that I can't trust my "loser brain" with 😂lmao

Until they combine the two apps these are killing me. To many steps to do simple actions, if it wasn’t for siri i wouldn’t use apple calendar or reminders

the intro was hard
