I need to create a task, there and then, in the Note. At a meeting, I’m making notes about the meeting in an Agenda Note attached to a Calendar event.It’s because tasks can arise in many different places and I need to be able to see them in a complete list structured by project. I’ve just realised one possible reason you are puzzled why I don’t just create a check list in Agenda! In order to do this review, it is essential that I have the tasks grouped by project - otherwise I can’t see the relationships and dependencies. (I do a similar weekly review when I look ahead for the next couple of months to pick up real deadlines and events that I need to prep for). So at my daily review (basicaly I sit down with my coffee, my list of tasks, and my calendar, first thing in the morning) and decide what tasks I’m going to work on today. So my lists in Reminders are structured around these projects (and roughly mirror my projects in Agenda). Especially because as a consultant I have projects for different clients. Priorities shift, other stuff comes up, and I find if I give them arbitary dates, ie target dates, I find I’m quickly overwhelmed by alerts that aren’t really necessary and just add stress.īut I need to tasks to have some kind of order. Obviously my workflow, and way of thinking about tasks and reminders, is quite different!Īpart from tasks with an actual external deadline, I prefer to leave them undated so I can decide when to tackle each. To me there’s no difference between a checklist of undated reminders in the Reminders app and a checklist of unchecked items in Agenda.
