Examples of How I Slice My Due Reminders

  • I shove a lot of stuff in Due–I use a defined naming convention to list the differnt reminder types
    • Any task that pops up and needs to be completed the same day
    • Deferred Toots
    • Deferred SMS
    • Consumables (Usually Triggered by Bookmarklets)
  • I use a unicode Trigram as a delimiter for these types of reminders
    • Thunder - "inciting movement"
  • These actions should be deleted / modified to fit your needs
  • Any actions which are not triggered by bookmarklets have matching Drafts actions.
