From Paper Planners to iPhone: How Apple Reminders Changed My Life

Apple products include reminders, which can help you in your everyday life. Let’s examine what the reminders can do.

Before

When I was trying to stay organized back in the day. I had this

I went to this

That way, I could plan out my day and get things done.

Then I went to this

Which was fine, it got the job done.

Now days

I have an Apple iPhone, and it has a program called Reminders. I haven’t used it in the past—maybe every once in a while—but I have gotten into it recently. Let’s take a look at what Reminders is all about. 

Reminders are defined as

Apple

Now that I’m older, the technology is getting better. Apple has an app called Reminders.

You can set up things to be reminded to complete during the day or the week.

  • Bills
  • Write blogs
  • Take out the trash
  • Vacation planning
  • Organize

I have a whole bunch of reminders. Sometimes, I think I have too many, and I can’t stay ahead of things. Some days, it feels like that.

For me, here are some of the reminders I have set up

  • Reminders
  • Bills
  • Blogging
  • Business Items
  • Organize
  • Travel
  • Websites
  • Weight Goals
  • Personal
  • Tasks
  • Time management
  • MacBook Goals
    • This is a widget on my MacBook Pro
  • Update blogs

A few more sections as well, Here is a picture of mine.

Now, most of these are broken down even further. Let’s take a look at one of them.

Blogging Reminder

I have four different websites in total. I can break them down, but this isn’t the place. That is somewhere else—I’m not sure where—but somewhere.

  • Iamgadgetguy
    • Talks about what I need to do for that blog
  • Justin Jenkins
    • Talks about what I need to do to get that updated
  • Justin Justin sports
    • This is part of Justin Jenkins, but it talks about BYU Football
  • Traveling with Justin
    • My traveling blog
  • Utah city tours
    • List of cities and places I need to blog about for people to get to know all about Utah.
  • Wraith Blog posts
    • I am updating my business website and will include links to my other blogs.

This helps me try to be organized and get things done. The reminder app also integrates nicely with the calendar app.

If you are in the calendar app and want to make a quick reminder but don’t want to leave the app, all you do is click the + sign and choose reminder. It’s nice.

Nice

It is nice and helpful, but sometimes, getting all the notifications all the time can be annoying as hell. But it is what it is.

This is a nice feature and helpful for me, at least. It might be too much for others, or they might not want to do it. It is all up to you.

Next week, I will be talking about the Notes app that Apple includes.
