If you’re like most people, you probably have a few reminders set up on your iPhone and iPad. But if you want to keep your reminders organized and easy to access, there are a few things you can do. First, create a reminder list. This is where you list all of the tasks that need to be done, and then add the dates and times for when they need to be done. You can also add notes to these reminders, which will help you stay organized and focused on your work. Next, create recurring reminders. This is where you set up a schedule for when certain tasks need to be done, and then add the dates and times for when they need to be done. You can also add notes to these recurring reminders, which will help you stay organized and focused on your work while still having some flexibility in how often the task needs to be done. Finally, use Apple’s built-in tools for managing your reminders. These tools include the Reminders app (available in the App Store), which allows you to manage all of your reminder settings; the Calendar app (available in the App Store), which allows you to schedule specific tasks for specific days or weeks; and Messages (available in the App Store), which allows you to communicate with other people about your reminder plans without having to type out each individual message.
It’s not always easy to remember when to do important things. Luckily, your iPhone or iPad can easily remind you about a repeating task or event using the Reminders app. Here’s how to set it up.
First, launch the Reminders app on your iPhone or iPad. The interface will vary slightly between the two platforms, but the options are basically the same. Tap the “Today” button, then add a new reminder by tapping the “New Reminder” button at the bottom of the screen.
When a reminder entry appears, type in whatever name you’d like—for example, “Check the Smoke Detector Batteries” or “Feed the Goats.” After that, tap the “Info” button just beside the reminder name. (The Info button looks like a small circle with the letter “i” inside.)
In the Details pane that pops up, select an initial date and time for the reminder. To make the reminder repeat, tap the “Repeat” option.
You can have the reminder repeat daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, yearly, or at a custom frequency. Using the “Custom” option, you can choose to have the reminder repeat on certain days of the week, certain weeks of the month, or certain months of the year. Choose the option that works best for you.
After setting the repeat interval, you can also select a date when the repetition will end using the “End Repeat” option. Or you can have the reminder repeat forever.
When you’re finished, tap “Done,” and the reminder entry will be saved. You’ll know it was configured correctly if you see it listed in your Reminders app.
If you need to add more repeating reminders, just tap the “New Reminder” button again. You can add as many as you’d like. Good luck!
