I have used reminders and to do list apps but I have recently consolidated it so everything is in my calendar. I have two kids so I schedule reminders at a certain time in the day for example if I am out and about in town I will schedule shops I need to go to as reminders otherwise I would forget.

Or for example when my eldest has his nap I will schedule one thing to do which is not regular housework i.e. Stuff like call somebody as a reminder or sort out something

Does anybody else use their calendar for their to do list / reminders?

I have recently read articles saying it is not wise and practical to use calendars on mobile phones a small reminders/to do lists.

It is working because I will schedule things for example if I am one side of town I will schedule Calendar events to remind me to get something from a store on the way back also it is connected to my Fit bit so the alert comes up on my watch when my phone is not on me.

Just wanted to see if anybody else used calendar events for the above.

Yes shotgun you can just put your finger on the appointment and drag it to another day by moving the calendar appointmenr/reminder to the right and the next day will come up and the following day if you continue to drag to the right.

Reminders are great that it gives you reminders at locations, it's a shame calendar reminders don't do that

I love my calendar alerts/reminders because they come on my Fitbit which is useful because I don't always have my phone to hand in the house

Couldn't live without my phone calendar reminding me to do EVERYTHING. I have no idea how people remember all the shit they have to do every day! Although Alexa does my shopping lists. I'm lazy.

Yeah so much to remember these days I don't know how people remember everything

Yeah those gadgets do look really good

Place marking as I keep trying to do this. I have a Charge HR that tells me whose calling on my iPhone is your fit bit a newer one?

I feel a need to come back and read this thread properly Grin

My To Do Lists are all over the place...

Yes the Fitbit is the charge 2 which gives you alerts on calls, text messages and calendar alerts.

Particularly useful when driving and you aren't allowed to use your phone - you can see the urgency of the text/call
