hello everyone and welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel today we're diving into
apple reminders and giving you a getting starting guide into how you can use apple reminders to your
advantage now to be fair apple reminders is one of those experiences that is normally sort of
neglected because of all the other third-party solutions out there with much better design
but as you can see here design's not too bad and it's added some additional abilities in ios 15
they really do make it a lot better so as you can see at the top here you've got a glance of what
you've got going on in terms of numbers so for example today scheduled all in flight gives you
number options within the center here you've got my lists and you can create now smart lists which
we'll come into in a moment and if you created any tags they appear down at the bottom here now
so let's start with the tags tanks are really simple if you've got any tag you can basically
hashtag it as you're typing it out anything from groceries snacks to baking
you can add it all in there and you can use this narrowing down option too
if you go to the bottom left-hand corner you can actually create tasks based on chores
so tanks can be split up even further which is quite helpful so tanks show up there and
they'll add and grow and they come into handy when you've got smart list 2 which we'll touch
on in a moment so let's go into today and as you can see i've got a few tasks here already
now as you can imagine each of these can be added a lot more detail to in each of the reminders so
here's a little example with record youtube i have recorded youtube as a title but i can add notes
and url i can add the date the time if i want to and also when i can have it repeating to and any
tags that it's associated to so in this case just for this demonstration i might have work as a tag
and you can add it and a location and a messaging for example to show the notification while you're
chatting that person which is quite helpful because if you create a smart list associated to
a bunch of tasks that are with one person it means that they'll now pop up when you're you know being
able to communicate with that person so when you're actually in the messaging oh remind you
know my wife about this and that and it helps you to have that you can have the priority and list
with subtasks down here subtitles are a lot harder to get to but they still are inside
and you can also add images too so you can see here that i've got a task of record youtube
now i actually have this this cool priority and let me just bump it up because it is a
little bit more important so i'm going to bump it up to the top here and let me just show you
the context around it what i did is i actually added a custom emoji with a red red icon color
and i used the manage smart list function so you can see here that i've got a relative range you
can choose range of dates to go with a relative range in the next day so that indicates anything
that's going to be in the next day of tasks with a high priority as you can see down here i set that
it is it's going to pick those tasks out and in this case if i go into today priority
it brings that up because that is the most important thing i need to do on my day it real
really drills it down whereas in today i've got two tasks which i've used sorting on too
so it's a really helpful in particular for being able to plan one thing you can do as well is
i've made the smart list for town for example every time i get in my car you can see that any
reminders will pop up so for example that's can be said even further so for example you know any
tasks that are located elsewhere you can set the location but i'm actually going to add chores as
well to see if there's anything associated with that at the moment there isn't but if i did have
one for example it was like my petrol and i put hashtag jaws and made press done logically it
should come up here but it doesn't i obviously need to set the location here to getting in the
car and you can see here there that now that comes through as something to do so that's quite helpful
when it comes to getting in the car because it if in particular got apple i think it's carplay
you can have the system set up so that when you get in the car it detects that you're actually in
the car and sort of ready to accept new tasks you can very much have static lists as well
so things that aren't in high level of detail with smart abilities and you can convert them
into smart abilities at any given time you can also show completed and delete this too from there
so reminders are a great way to be able to set indications and you can also use this scheduled
coming up to really set the stage for the next week you can change that about if you want to
and that's how you can really plan ahead with this application you can also see all of your tasks too
and that breaks it down per project as well and you can be a bit more modified especially when
sharing tasks with other people in which you can do you can have a sign to me
as something that pops up there too so that gives you an indication of how many tasks
have been assigned to you if you work with somebody and you're doing this in a light
fashion or you're maybe using this to manage tasks at home now it's really easy to add a
new list bottom right corner you can do at any given time and you can convert it into a smart
list you can also search globally for any of the tasks that are in your list really easily
now apple reminders is a free option and it does come with some great abilities ios 15 definitely
made it easier they introduced the likes of natural language input as well and also deleting
completed reminders as well and also upgraded abilities with announcement reminders with siri
i know for example for the fact that i've missed a call this week and it automatically set up time
sensitive notifications and reminders around that adding it all automatically into my my
apple reminders which is really helpful so they're really upgrading this and it did a few upgrades to
apple notes as well that you can definitely check out in the link in description anyway
