- Had two thoughts/ideas:
- Sending an email with the text I want to be reminded about in the body and the list I want it to go to as the subject.
- Also would be great to be able to add details to the reminder (ex #time #date etc) to in the email body.
- Annual reminders/reminder starter packs/playlists
- I just added a reminder dated oct 22 to get a flu shot. I know this, along with other regular medical appts, has to happen at some point during the year (the flu shot specifically has to happen during the fall).
- It would be cool if I could use a “medical starter pack” that included reminders for GP, dentist, OB/GYN, flu shot, Covid booster (likely going to become regular), etc.
- If I choose to add this playlist to my reminders, they will appear as their own list or in an aggregate “annual” list and items occasionally get included in the “wild card” reminders I get daily/weekly.
- I’m indifferent when I go to the GP, so if it just appeared on my to do today list one week in June I’d figure eh no reason not to just get this scheduled now
- There could be multiple similar playlists (and custom ones).
- Ex I’m shooting a recruiting video for Goldman in a few weeks and before that shoot I’m going to want to:
- Get my hair cut
- Get my nails done
- Pick an outfit
- Arrange my meetings
- So I have a little extra time in the morning to get ready.
- Most of these tasks have to happen in the days leading up to the shoot so if I add the shoot as a calendar item I can attach “getting ready to do’s” to that date and it will lay the tasks out onto my to do today in the days/weeks leading up
- If you say “I’ll do that” “I’m on it” etc in a text, prompting you to create a to do
