Once you’ve done that, you can use pretty much any task management app as you see fit and it shouldtn’t you down. You just have to escape some of the rigidity that adopting some of these systems will naturally possess. The Front Nine could be a project (and it is) but if I’m working solely on The Front Nine or need to be in the mindset of working on The Front Nine, then that could also be considered a context. If you look at my main lists that I have you’ll see that they generally could be considered contexts or projects. Doing so will allow you to put tasks in either a context or in a project. That’s when you can get away with using both contexts and projects as your part of your list hierarchy system. One of the limitations with Reminders is that you cannot have subtasks or create projects with tasks inside them. As you can see in the image below I have created several contexts that have tasks within them. Once you’ve decided which way to go, start creating tasks within those lists. And that’s also we want to have happen here. So, if you treat all of the lists as contexts you will get less confused. For example, Today is not a project but a context. What I do is look at the two that remain - Completed and Today - and realize that these lists are more context-based then project-based. Once you’ve culled the existing lists, then you have to decide how you want your lists to function - as projects or as contexts. The only ones you can’t get rid of are the ones above the iCloud bar (Completed and Today]. Inspired by that (and perhaps giving James a hand in the process), what I’ve done is put together a little tutorial on how to use the iOS Reminders app as a task manager…should you want to go that route.įirst things first: clear out all of the default categories/lists that Reminders comes with. “I’ve reset my iPhone and iPad both back to factory settings, and I’m trying to almost exclusively use the stock iOS apps.” I’ve also been keeping up with James Gowans’s Out of the Box experiment where he’s done the following: Especially in this realm because it can do so much more than simply remind us of things. I did mention Apple’s stock application, Reminders, in passing but I feel that it definitely deserves more attention than it gets. Yesterday I wrote a post over iPhone Hacks discussing the best free iPhone task management apps out there.
