Refresh your reminders

At its core, Reminders is an app for making checklists – a digital replacement for a short paper-based list of things you

need to deal with. The app can boost productivity and efficiency in several ways. Put the pointer over an item and click the info button and you can turn the item into a time- or location-based reminder. So, if a task is time-sensitive or needs to be done when you arrive at or leave a particular place, Reminders can give you a gentle nudge on your iCloud-connected Macs, iOS devices and Apple Watch.

Lists can also be shared with people: set up a list, put the pointer over it in the sidebar and click its broadcast icon. To stop sharing with someone, select them under Shared With and press ∫. Remove yourself from someone else’s list by deleting it.
