Hi!

Most people set up Apple Reminders once and never touch it again. Then six months later, it's a mess — random tasks, no structure, lists they stopped opening.

The fix isn't a new app. It's revisiting the features already sitting inside Reminders: Smart Lists, tags, Siri, Column View.

This week is about the questions people actually ask — and the small adjustments that make the app worth keeping.

Apple Tip

Smart Lists in Apple Reminders can sort by priority, not just by date.

Here is how to create a dedicated view:

First, create a Smart List -> Add List, List Type -> Smart List, configure filters:

  • 1) List name: High, Priority: High, Date: Today, Include Past Due

  • 2) List name: Medium, Priority: Medium, Date: Today, Include Past Due

  • 3) List name: Low, Priority: Low, Date: Today, Include Past Due

Once you’ve created all three, drag one list onto another to group them together.

See you next week.
