‘ Someday‘ – for items that are not so much a todo but an idea.

So that GTD style I can glance over all my tasks.

‘ To Do‘ – all my todos once they are tagged.

‘ Inbox‘ – everything that is not yet tagged or sorted.

All my reminders are in one of these 3 folders: Notice some have a circle icon and soem have a square.Ī circle means it’s an actual folder. I copied the GTD layout, you can see my basic lists here: You can use multiple tags so reminders can be in both a context and a project and an area of responsibility. That way if I go to a meeting my tasks are ready. I’ve also made a folder for ‘contexts’ (which is also from Dave Allen GTD). This makes it super fast and intuitive to use. (right from within a new reminder) OR I can drag it to the list and the tag will automatically be added.

To add something to the list I can just tag it. Now grab those smart ists together into a folder called ‘Areas’ for areas of responsibility, or ‘Projects’ for Projects. Here’s a list grabbing any reminder with the tag ‘digital.’

Now you can make a project which is just a smart list that grabs the tagged reminders together. You can add this after you have some reminders. If it’s not already there it will make a new one. To make a new tag you just type the name of the tag in the tag field in any reminder.

It also allows reminders to be in multiple places. This is better than folders because it’s much easier to add a tag than move a reminder to a folder. We are going to use tags to cover projects, areas of responsibility, and contexts.

#1 Set up some tags, then Areas of responsibility or Projects. ‘Hey Siri, add a reminder to plan for holidays.’ It has enough features that you can roll out all the GTD methodology, but nothing extra to clutter it up. After 6 months, it’s become my favourite place to organise my tasks. But recently I’ve given Apple Reminders a run and I must say it’s surprisingly good. I’ve previously used Things by Cultured Code and Todoist, Wunderlist and others.
