I get you, Marquess… I use Apple Calendars and Reminders and they lack some features, but it's in generell good enough. I sort my tasks with the Eisenhower matrix (as smart lists), so I use priorities a lot. A total Game Changer for me was setting the double back tap on the iPhone to a Shortcut for "Add Reminder": This way I can enter the task, the date, time, location and priority all in one tap without have to extra open the Reminders app. Absolutely love this feature! Also, do you know Thomas Frankly? His YT is centred around productivity and I love it; maybe you'll enjoy it, too!

Apple Reminders has gotten an upgrade a few months ago. So you can make lists like “High Priority List” and “Low Priority List” and set it up so when you create a new task and tag it as high priority, it’ll automatically go to the “High Priority List”

[@mulasien]

On Google Calendar - for reminders or tasks that don't need a specific time slot or aren't as important, like receiving a package or hotel check-in info - I created a color code that is very bright, almost white, that blends in well with the background of the calendar, so it does not interfere with my vision when I'm quickly scanning through the days, weeks, etc.

[@thomasdemontlivault5647]

If your Google Keep notes have a date, it will show up in your calendar. This thing is so underrated. I use it to be reminded of checklists. On the other hand the lack of dedicated webpage for google tasks really limits my use-case. Their integration in google calendar is fantastic, but it's too limited as a standalone service.

I’ve found the apple calendar and reminders app to be feature rich enough, and one of the more beautiful out there too, plus the integration with Siri and all the Apple ecosystem is a game changer!

[@ToniLeys]

I can totally relate, but what bothers me more is that I can't settle in one app, I use multiple apps depending on the case. GMaps or Waze for getting around. Microsoft To Do, iPhone Reminders, Alexa lists or alarms for tasks, depending on when, where and what. My notes are a big mess though, Telegram for things for later, Notion for big fat notes with lots of ideas or whatever I have in reach when it's a volatile thought I want to lay down fast... I need to really crop down the amount of apps. Google Calendar is the one thing I can't live without though, if it's not in my calendar it's not happening!

[@dcaxeslinger]

I do the same thing. I live in the apple reminders, maps, and calendar app. I use the calendar with locations and times for appointments, and apple calendar can now send you reminders for when you need to leave according to traffic, or time you’ve allotted for travel. The location corresponding with your event shows up right at the top of the map app so you can just tap it and go instead of digging through your calendar app. Reminders for apple has gotten really robust compared to how it was when it first released. You can add so much information to each individual task including links, location, time, pictures, sub tasks, and more. You can even make reminders list templates. I like being able tell Siri “remind me to feed the dog when I get home” and it will send me a reminder notification that will stay on my Lock Screen until I complete it. You can also tell it “remind me to take out the trash (tonight, tomorrow, Friday) at 6pm” and it will populate with all that information. There’s so many things you can do with the reminders app with categorization and different lists. Just being able to say “hey siri add ground beef to the grocery list” is really nice. When I’m already on my phone I’ll use an app called “remind faster” that allows you to type in information and quickly add things to reminders with natural language input. So you can type “take medicine (tonight, tomorrow, Friday) at 6pm”, hit the arrow, and it gets sent to reminders. I set a lot of reminders with future dates and times if they’e more tasks oriented, and I have a widget for what’s due today that’s in order and separated according to what’s due in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I have certain reoccurring tasks on different lists that will come up weekly and will show in the “today” view. Best thing about all this is it’s completely free.

[@bees_nail_art82]

[@KaneSanMiguel]

[@hurleyman77]

The biggest reason I use clock alarms instead of calendar reminders is because the calendar notification is too subtle, and I don't want to spend my life checking notifications. I get notifications ALL THE TIME that I don't actually need to look at immediately, and there's no way to differentiate between "bleep-bloop: someone replied to your comment on the Waveform Clips video" which I definitely want to know about, but don't need to deal with immediately, versus "bleep-bloop: you need to pick someone up at the airport, it's 2 hours away, and you need to leave right now." An alarm in my clock app is the only way I have to distinguish between "Do this now" versus "Do this today." I even prefer Outlook at work, because it will POP-UP A DIALOG about the upcoming meeting. If I've forgotten about that meeting, the pop-up interrupting what I'm doing is really critical.

yeah this is my complaint as well... really calendars need a way to create event/task chains, because some things are dependent on other things being complete, as opposed to being tied to a specific time. in this particular case the event chain would be [Catch A Flight]→[pickup rental car]→[Check Into Hotel] where the notification for "check into hotel" is dependent on arrival at the destination airport car rental lot.

In terms of using calendars though, i find that "Voice recorder" is great for all reminders. Also, it's quite good for depression as i get a bit depressed sometimes and don't have anyone to call. Ultimately I make a recording or video to call myself and then watch (or listen to) it back with as much self-empathy as I can fathom! It's actually really helpful. In the old days, you were expected to write in a diary, but now that feels unnatural to me and impossible because it'd take up too much time! I know you may say that relying on a machine is sub par, but it can be a great thing too as when you are less stressed your memory and cognition can work better again later.

Not quite so dependent on task apps, but my calendar is concerningly required for me to be a functional human. I go through such a dumb loop with calendar, tasks, and sometimes notes apps: Start with stock app -> try something new for a while because the stock app isn't very exciting -> find some specific nitpick about the new app that I don't like -> back to the stock app -> try something new for a while -> realize I'm paying on a monthly basis for something my phone has built in for free -> back to the stock app -> try something new for like an hour only to find I think it's ugly in some specific way -> back back to the stock app -> etc. So... kinda trying to just stick with the stock apps, since I seem to like them more anyway...

I can totally relate and i was like that 15+ years ago. I was constantly making lists of what i need to do. Before i had a computer it was on pieces of paper. Then txt files. Then i have bought my first reminder app (Chameleon Clock). Later i have switched to Rainlendar on my PC. I have too many reminders. Constantly trying to reduce the number. I do also have reminders for small things i do every day and most of them i remember anyway, so maybe i don't need a reminder, but this is just anxiety and fear to forget. On my phone i sometimes use Keep and shoot emails to myself with notes to do something. Probably 10% Keep, 20% email, 70% Rainlendar. At work it is 90% Microsoft To Do and 10% Outlook Calendar.
