Reminders as my day-to-day lifeline (powered by Shortcuts)

Matthew Cassinelli, The Sweet Setup:

Ever since the Apple Watch, Reminders has become such an engrained part of my daily life that, surprisingly, despite its design, it’s one of my most-used apps.

On a regular day, I’ll probably get a handful of reminders alerting me to do something, I’ll add a few thoughts I don’t have time to write down, and I’ll add groceries or chores that I want to get done later — actually accomplishing much more than I can say about many other apps on my phone.

But that’s because, despite getting so much from Reminders, I don’t actually use the app itself all that much.

That all started thanks to the Apple Watch and has come full circle with Shortcuts.

This is a wonderful piece, written by a member of the WorkFlow/Shortcuts team. I use Reminders all the time, and this post was eye-opening to me, expanding my Reminders’ horizons, and giving me a nice little push into a world of useful Shortcuts.
